Personally I fail to now see what imprisoning someone who is 94 is going to achieve rather than just vengeance,rather than justice.
I said earlier,my Grandfather who was in the war, said much the same to me about things like this as Toy Soldier was saying.
That most German soldiers were doing what they were told to do,had they not they would have been liekly killed and their families suffer too.
Just as,as my Grandfather said, all soldiers in the war were obeying orders for their Nations heads too.
My Grandfather said he never actually wanted to go and kill anyone but had to or be punished himself or killed himself.
That is the futility and price of so called 'glory'.
He was sickened for the rest of his life by what he came across and was unfurled as to what the Germans had done to so many people, Jews,disabled and gay people and Gypsies.

Having said that and it is my position still to be slightly more with Toy Soldier on this one,there is of course the other side of it that I can equally see and therein Livia makes really strong points too.
Livia speaks, and with authority, for all who lost many in the holocaust and those who almost did lose friends and families too.
Whether some did get freed eventually and could be considered the lucky ones from this horrific nightmare,those people freed will have certainly lost friends and family at some point during the barbaric and inhuman actions of Germany.
It is then understandable the strong line from Livia, especially as to her own Grandmother too.

So while we can look at this and for some of us, see no point in these trials or imprisonments,it has to be equally taken on board that those who lost so many are fully entitled to some recognition of a fact than such inhuman and heartless actions against other human beings can never be reconciled or indeed forgiven really.
Also as Livia says, the World should never,never ever forget.
I hope we don't ever forget.
