    The grandfather most likely was on the side of the Nazi regime or indifferent.

    Forced to work for Nazis, but definitely not indifferent. But sure, explain my family members to me!

    Regardless of the true motives, Germany is especially fearful to be seen as antisemitic, but their “memory culture” of Nie wieder is now being called put for the hypocrisy it is, as they refuse to speak up for the Palestinians, and even are scared to give Ukraine any weapons that could be used to strike Russian soil.

      I am sorry, when reading i somehow mistook the “My grandfather” for “the grandfather”.

      Of course i don’t know you or your grandfather and cannot judge that for him specifically.

        I’m sure I’ve understood stuff wrong in the past and will again in the future, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

        I think on Germany being hypocritical in their stance towards Israel, we agree atleast.

        And yeah, the non-Zionists jews (for lack of better term) are definitely not getting heard, or even asked enough. But that’s a whole other can of worms.

        Edit: Words are hard, and Muphry’s Law is a bitch.
