Considering what the Poles suffered at the hands of the Germans?

I don’t believe in collective guilt. The madmen who committed those atrocities against Poland and a host of other countries are dead. Dead and buried.

However, the brilliant German culture of Goethe, Beethoven, Schiller, Schubert, Schumann, Bach, etc etc lives on! No sense throwing the baby out with the bath water.

It’s unfair to blame the Germans of today for their past. (my Polish mother said that to me when i was boy almost 40years ago.)

I’m biased as I can read German and speak “ein bisschen”.
