Yeah, that's like current finding the shortest path. Most have been cut, but.

In general dramatic moralizing behavior and deciding who's a real Jew seems to be a phenomenon too often exhibited by Germans.

Like "our ancestors have committed terrible crimes, but we've repented and now we are somehow better for it than if those crimes wouldn't happen". People tend to try and justify that their group is exceptional from every big historical event uniting it. So I'd prefer that Germans just wouldn't touch the Holocaust card, they don't understand the limitations and thus cross them too often.
