Those who forget the past...

Should they "make amends" for it? Sure, and they have.

But, very few (if any) who actively (or even passively) participated in the activities of the Nazi Party are still alive.

Granted it was in Austria, but I've been to Mauthausen and it's less than two miles from the town. The Jews were marched through the town on the way to the camp. The people there knew.

You have to remember...anti-Semitism wasn't created by the Nazis. It had been a European institution for CENTURIES. European history is replete with numerous pogroms against Jews. The fact there was a substantial and influential Jewish presence in Europe by this point was actually quite remarkable.

It's legal to own stuff just not buy/sell it or display it other than for educational/film purposes.
