Apart from my sillyness, I wanted to seriously say, that I agree with your post, which I really liked.
I think it behooves us FGs to always remember & also stress that towards SGs, yes, we did join, even if nobody should say, we could have easily foreseen at those days the evilness of all.Those who did see right through, were so wise in not joining & in any society you have smart & dumb ones, not only on an IQ-level...call it emotional intelligiance or whatever the hip/inword happens to be.
People have the "right", to do mistakes & the duty
to "pay" for the damage.
The analogy with sufferings in worldhistory is for me this: when people suffer innocently, then it's
not the right of the guilty nation to minimise
the suffering or to slander their memory in any way...they don't allow that for soldiers as well &
most nations guard carefully that memory.
The SGs have also the right for it.However, not everyone -farfetched, but not impossible analogy;
I see things, which can be learned of - in Nazi-
Germany was aware of it, what happened in the labour-camps, especially not in the beginning, not even until the end of the war.To generalise that,
would again be dangerous, because there are many shades of grey.About the Davidito-book I'd say something for lack of time now another day.
We FGs should see, where we failed & according to that act & apologise.At the same time, if there wasn't any criminal offense, we should also not
feel incriminated...criminal in the sense, something, you would be prosecuted for...morally
guilty is another thing, where we should seek the
SGs pardon & I'd like to think, that they would grant that...it was a dark period in our life,
meaning, failing to protest, when BSletters came out...not talking about the years it often took to
see any of that in TFworldwide action.
I'd like for us to stick to that difference, SGs were born into that environment, created by the adults!...it takes nothing off from how FGs also had heavy sufferings; that's another subject & is recognised by a good many SGs...
I agree, that we should emphasize the facts, because there was too long TFfiction & cultblabber & lingo.
The main culprits it seems are hard to catch, but it's still worth it, to preach here, as if they would also be listening ...we should not always be so sensitive, as if we're meant personally with every just outcry.Hard to stay cool at times...
