What is the problem?!
A person who is now 90 years old, was 18 years old in 1939. Can you blame an 18-year old for not stopping it?
One who is 80 years old now, was 8 years old when the war started and 14 when it ended (1945). Can you blame him?
People who randomly attack Germany and boycott Germany don’t have a clue of the facts in life. Why don’t you boycott the UK, where Jews were banned from living for hundreds of years? Why not boycott The Netherlands, where they burned Jews alive? Why not boycott Russia, about which little explanation is needed? Why not Austria, where Hitler was born? Why not Poland? Why not Switzerland, that refused entry? Why not France, which turned over all Jews? Why not Italy? Why not Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Slovakia? Why not boycott the ENTIRE WORLD, actually? Maybe boycott Israel also?
For you, Germany is probably an alien place, something you cannot imagine, with evil people. For me, it is a country whose border lies 30 km from where I grew up – and its language is one I speak quite well (good enough to use it for work). Germany is not a scary, evil country. It is one of the world’s largest and most stable economies, a good friend of Israel, a country thar regrets its mistakes and has had amazing success in rebuilding itself.
Sure, there are some lingering neo-Nazis, but you have those in the USA as well. As a matter of fact, in Germany, the authorities try to stop them, catch them, imprison them, outlaw them. They are considered a danger to state security and closely followed by Germany’s equivalent of the FBI. In the US, on the other hand, neo-Nazis can openly state their beliefs and wear Nazi uniforms, all protected by “freedom of speech”. Maybe you should boycott the USA?
