> I think the more interesting question about reparation is whether there is truly a “continuity” (of the institution, state, or country on the one hand, and of a family unit on the other). If there is, then obviously the institution owes everything needed to make you whole. If there isn’t, then they owe you the same as any other citizen.

Can you explain this? What is continuity in this sense, and why is it obvious that they owe everything needed to make everyone whole?
