I'm sick of hearing about the Holocaust and I can see no value in continuing to insult the Germans of today.

If there is "collective guilt," for the Holocaust then all Americans are now guility for the crimes of Iraq, the wars in the Middle East, the torture of prisoners, etc.

But although this is happening there are millions of Americans active against it: All are not guilty.

Same thing was true in Germany: All were not guilty. There were many fighting against the evil of Nazi's like we fight today against the evil of warmongering Republicans, neo-cons and all those others pushing to invade Iran next, etc.

I'd rather hear more talk about those activist in Germany who fought for the good...

I'd rather hear more talk about those activist in Germany who fought for the good, of the good done by the Allies in defeating the Nazi's.

I'd rather hear more said about beauty and achievements than wallowing in suffering.

Afro-Americans, for example, are not trying to set up Slavery Museums in every public museum in the world, nor are the out as a group trying to hunt down white-slavers and all their descendents, nor condeming whites of today for the evils of yesterday.

Work on trying to live better together.

Yes, well, you may be sick and tired of it, but multitudes are not. Until several generations have passed, these wounds won't heal. I know all about guilt. I'm a white South African who was born and benefited under the white minority South African Apartheid Regime. I too wish that the wounded would heal and get on with life. But that is simply because it's uncomfortable for me. It's all about me and not those whose lives were tainted, maimed, murdered and brutalised. The same applies to Nazi Germany. "The sins of the fathers are visited upon the children unto the third and fourth generation" (Bible). Modern Germans must bear the guilt of their fathers if for no other reason that to ...

Modern Germans must bear the guilt of their fathers if for no other reason that to prevent a repeat. And the whole world bears guilt for having allowed it to happen. That is the nature of life as, "We are not islands unto ourselves .... we are part of the main .... and every man's death diminishes me"
