RE: [Leica] Re: Salgado Revisted

How could you forgive or forget the Nazis.  They still
live among us. Maybe you never been to Germany and had
a boot up your ass by a neo-nazis.  I think if you
forgive the horror of the Nazis you open your self to
be blinded again.  To many people in america might be
of the opinion that german citizens where unwilling
accomplice to the horror of there history.
