In addition, where is the world's demand to see Russia, Japan, China, etc.. live up to their own obligations to recognize their own crimes against humanity??
Do we hold these other nations to the same standard?

What I would like to see Germany (and germans) do, is simply what has been done.. acknowledge their past..
I would also like to see Germany (the state) more involved, in a leadership role, in the issue of Human Rights..
I would suggest that a true reparation for historical wrongs would be a dedication to the principles of Human Rights, the Right to Life, and other such principles and their promotion throughout the world..

Many countries (pretty much every country) has racist pasts,Germany had th Holocaust and others had slavery. The most important thing is to recognise the past and demand that the future be different.

I predict that if we keep following the path of the second treaty of Versailles, we get to see it again.
