I suggest the following:

					Forget		Forgive

Individual soldiers, who can		No		Yes
   be shown to have had no
   authority
The German army of WWII in 		No		No
   general (including SS and others)
Today's German people who still		No		No
   hold prejudices against Jews
Today's other German people		No		yes

So we won't forget anything, since knowledge is a Good Thing, but we'll
forgive those who have (as far as can be determined) no guilt.  Isn't this
nice and fair?
