Ah, but ...
http://www.haaretz.com/news/historian-threatens-to-reveal-polish-atrocities-against-jews-if-tried-for-slander-1.237256

And there's also:

Polish Atrocities
Against the German Minority in Poland
Edited and published by order of the Foreign Office,
Volk und Reich Verlag Berlin, 2nd. revised ed., 1940, 311 pp.




Ok i'd say i am sorry, but isn't it a bit dumb to blame nations for what they did in the past, with generations that have long passed away. While i feel that our country behaved thoroughly wrong and atrocious and we should not forget it to prevent future events like that, i sure do not feel responsible for it personally.
Just like Ikalugin.

B.t.w is there any excuse by England for what the Empire has done for centuries, or does India or China still accuse them for enforced drug trafficking or colonial suppression.

If there is any sensibility, some moderator should close this thread

Well said. I'm sure if we wanted to any one of us could bring up the past and hold grudges for things that other generations have done. My ancestors were Acadians and there are some of them who can't get over 1755. I'm over it. I was never under it. The future is all we have.
