Having had relative killed by an invading army during a war is a tragedy for
ones own family - having members of a religion, or ethnic group, or race,
gassed, shot, bludgeoned, and intentionally starved to death in an attempt
to exterminate them is a perversity that is a tragedy for all humankind.
That is the point you seem to miss.

And, no, for the perpetrators of such perversion, no punishment is enough as
long as they are still alive - the fact that someone who commits or actively
participates in mass murder manages to hide out for 60 years does not get
them a pass. Hell, in the U.S. if someone kills a single person they never
get a pass - there is no statute of limitations.

Yes, what you say is true. Even my dear friend Jeffery has referred to
me (in effect) as an anti-Nazi propagandist in another forum. Very early
on I made it clear that my family had members killed by the invading
Nazis in Poland during the war.  I suspect there are many here who
freely open their traps who have not suffered this. I'm beginning to
think that it doesn't matter to many.
