You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. Old people here (80 and up) still loathe the Germans and for what was done during the war. Their personal involvement is what make it impossible for them to move on. But as one of their children I have absolutely no grudge against Germans, old or young, simply because I wasn't personally involved.

Jewish people come in all shapes and sizes, and I know quite a few of them. The bulk are very well educated and are able to see history and their own part in it quite clearly. They are definitely not going to like some one with a swastika symbol on their shirt but the chances of that happening here in Europe are relatively slim because there would be a lot of other people - non Jews too - who would take offense.

That's nothing to do with personal involvement but with recognizing that those that wish to engender a second round of Nazism in Europe need to be dealt with before they become a problem.

This is bizarre, you start your comment saying that I have no idea what I'm talking about and then go on to agree with everything I wrote.

jacquesm's really disagreeing with the person above you, probably just replied to the wrong comment.
