Were any of you who advocate forgiving victims of these crimes?  (I am
speaking of those victims who survived, obviously.  Most did not.)  If
not, you have no right to claim forgiving.

Do you *really* know what the crimes were?  Have you spoken to any
length to a real survivor?  Do you know what they felt and how they
feel?  If not, what you really are after is forgetting.

As to honoring the dead, hm...  Why not honor the real victims?  And are
there no other ways to honor the (living) Germans than honoring their
dead ones?  (But you know the answers).
