It's easier for me to forgive, conceptually, because I am the child of both victor and vanquished in a number of battles of days gone by. The Indian in me can't hate the white, nor vice versa. The Croatian in me can't hate the German, nor vice versa. The English in me can't hate the French, nor vice versa. The French in me can't hate the German, nor vice versa.

My husband's mother's family fought on the German side in WWII, his father's family on the Allied side. Who should he hate?

< CB, millions of victims and combatants are still alive and well and are still haunted by the memories of their experiences. >

My Father got a nice bottle of red from the mayor of Metz on the 50th annum of it's liberation a few years back... the next morning he and one of the few other survivors of his platoon crossed the Rhine and went north to a town of much more significance to them: at a corner in the town an elderly German man waved them back in warning from the intersection where Hitler youth lay in waiting. They had jabbering and walking at ease at the time and certainly would have been eliminated. Life is strange.

>>millions of victims and combatants are still alive << they should never die. Its our moral obligation to spare them damnatio memoriae.
