And well it should. One really cannot overstate the role the average German played in helping Adolf Hitler rise to power. Recall what Einstein said:
He advised that SZILARD, while in Berlin, had been assistant to Professor LAUE at the University of Berlin. He said that Professor LAUE was a very decent man and that he is the only German he knows who behaved in an admirable way after Hitler's advent to power. (from Einstein's FBI interview: http://www.dannen.com/einstein.html)The only one out of what, hundreds upon hundreds of the Germans Einstein personally knew? One in 500, perhaps? And Albert Einstein knew "the best" of them. The percentage was far worse among average Germans.
It bothers me to no end that Germans are now able, and so eager, to make light of their crimes against humanity. How soon, and how conveniently, they forget.

That's utter BS. Nobody - I know over here - wants to forget anything. But the real problem today are people like you, who are unable to differentiate, and try to judge people by their heritage, race or wrong deeds( supposedly or real) of past generations in a collective manner. This was exactly what the NAZIS did. What an irony!!
