There are still survivors of the holocaust, but when every single one of them is dead, and ever single person who supported the nazis in WW2 is dead, then what? Does the next generation of people who happen to be born in a certain place inherit their responsibilities and even "sins"?
Yeah - thats pretty much how it works. Just look at the US and slavery. There hasnt been anyone living for a VERY long time who either owned slaves or was a slave, and yet there are those who still expect the country to cater to blacks as an apology for slavery.
