I am not definite in whether I support pursuing war crimes that occured more than half a century ago. Is there still a sense of justice when you supposedly find a guilty suspect for something he might have done during the Nazi Regime, and in the end he is an old feeble man who doesn't have much life left in him anyways? Does that really give people a sense of satisfaction?
I wonder how Germans feel about this issue because they are so sensitive about their past, maybe they feel that they have to pursue every and anyone who participated in Nazi activities and in the concentration camps.
Noone can deny the horror and absolute terror that occurred in those concentration camps but the process of trying to come to terms with that past...does that include forgiveness or retribution?
