9. germany, what germany?

As a lot of these Nazi criminals, mitläufer and other idiots (too much of them) were still in their jobs after the WWII (with support of the allies, especially the US which needed all those German anti communists at this time), a real rigorous Nazi cleaning couldn't take place in after-war Germany. And, therefore, the justice system (wich was still filled with Nazi fellows) was absolutely lazy in prosecuting the old comrades. (However, there were some exceptions). The second generation has then brought up the students revolt (1968 ff) and changed the way of public perception in many ways on numerous subjects including the Nazi past (with all the try and error involved). Now, the third generation is taking over slowly and looking into newer history and its remains. And again a fresh beginning is paving the way. You are right: it has taken too long a time. It's a shame.
10. Israel failed its victims
Paul Korda ,   Boulder, USA   (03.19.12)
The Jewish State lacks the political will to prosecute Its greatest tormentors. In all of it's 63 year old history only 2 have been tried - Eichman and Demjanjuk. No wonder other states aren't too keen to go after Nazis. Paul Korda former attorney with the Israeli Justice Ministry
11. Charge all Kapo and Sonderkommando
Viktor ,   Fort Wayne USA   (04.05.12)
Since we are on a full manhunt for those who gave aid to nazis, many in camps served as Kapo and Sonderkommando or served in the Ghetto as Special Order Police cooperating with the Nazis to control detained persons. Without the inmates volunteering to save themselves by acting as Kapo and Sonderkommando the entire system would have slowed or collapsed. Demjanjuk gets charged for saving himself from POW camp in which many perished by aiding the Nazis. Why should the Kapo, Jewish Special Order Police, and Sonderkommando not face the exact same charges and publicity for their acts to hellp the nazis in order to save their own lives? Why is it only a gentile who aids the Nazis that gets charged and hounded while the jewish Kapo, Special Order Police, and Sonderkommando face no charge for helping the Nazis control or administer other inmates? Let them ALL , gentile and jew, be shamed, charged and face their complicity!
