Let me say it in simple words: Every man and woman on this planet is an answer to everything what happend since this universe exists. If there is a laughter you would miss if you would know that this laughter would exist - and you don't hear it now because it is not existing and it is not part of your answer to this world - you don't know, what you are missing but maybe you are feeling a little sad.

There is no way back - this cut is done - and every human being has to live with now. To forget means nothing else than to learn again this stupid story of the years 1933-1945. But everyone who knows about this stories never likes to learn again the same. All Germans are an answer of this times today, if they like it or not. So the best is it to accept this answer and to remember this time always very well.
