[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So strange to judge a current population for the sins of their past.  I understand that the Holocaust was horrific.  But, there are many people now that had no role in that.  Germany is also far from the only country who has committed atrocities (we don't have to look much further than the U.S. where we all reside? Do you have the same views about the U.S.?)

[b]One of my very best friends is Jewish.  We've talked about this and she won't go to Germany, won't buy German cars, etc.  I just think this is odd.  One thing to harbor such feelings toward an actual nazi/nazi sympathizer.  This is something I just don't get.[/b][/quote]

I live in a very Jewish enclave and have Jewish friends. This has come up before and many have shared similar sentiments. Although I understand and sympathize with why they feel that way, I wonder if such perceptions will generally fade away as the actual participants die out just from old age. The war ended 68 years ago. Soon enough even the children involved will pass away from old age. At some point it will be more like how Americans view slavery no?[/quote]maybe it has to do with the fact that many german companies were complicit in the holocaust?  i would not want to buy a product and support a company built on that history.[/quote]
