Nazi Victim’s Family Told to Return Artifact

[AmericanGI]

58. Very well put, thank you for such a well written post! now for my 2 cents in response to subject.

Oh how funny, people on here are concerned about Germany stealing from Iraq? funny, our museums are full of artifacts from all over the world. The same people angered by this had no problem cheering on Bush and Obama into a war against Iraq (and now Iran) for oil and money for Israel. This guy sounds like a thief who fabricated a lie to come to America and stole along the way and probably gets a check every month for his undocumented "pain and suffering". First, the artifact was stolen from Germany, where it belongs. Second, we live in a society where no one is accountable for their actions. Letting this man keep a stolen artifact only reinforces that. It is not his families jewelry or money, it is an artifact from a museum so stop playing the violin music and whining. Yes, the things that happened during WWII were atrocious. People do not take into account that Germans ARE NOT Nazis. The Nazi party was just as the Al Queda is, a minority who influenced the majority. But Germany got their now didn't they? the country was bombed, women raped and museums pillaged by thieves, many of them being American soldiers. The same type of soldiers who would eventually repeat this behavior in Vietnam and then Iraq with no consequences. It is time to end the cycle hatred towards the Germans and teach history, not guilt. Be worried about our own government before pointing fingers at a government that no longer exists in Germany.
