Which makes sense when you realize that the Nazis are dead and gone, their government is gone, and the people and government of Germany today had nothing to do with the events of the middle of the last century. Trying to sue Germany for what the Nazis did is like trying to sue Italy for what the Romans did.

My ancestors ran a station on the Underground Railroad helping escaped slaves to freedom in Canada. Now what do you think would happen if I started knocking on the doors of the descendants of those slaves in Canada and demanded payment? They would laugh me off the porch and rightly so. Had I been alive back then I would have helped the escaped slaves, but I wasn't alive back then and cannot take credit for the past, just as I was not alive during WW2 and refuse to accept any blame for what happened or did not happen back then.

All we can do is right the wrongs we see before us here and now, or live with the failure to have done so.
