But if come across an old Nazi 60 years after the war, should I tell him, "it's OK what you did because it happened 60 years ago. The Statute of Limitations hasn't run out, but since you are old, I will let you go" ? I don't think so. Certain things simply shouldn't be forgotten, nor forgiven, nor gone unpunished. Dan C.
