There was no one moment of redemption, but a steady process of acknowledgment. At the commemoration of the 40th anniversary of the end of the Second World War in Europe, West German President Richard von Weizs\u00e4cker spoke of \u201cthe attempt by too many people, including those of my generation, who were young and were not involved in planning the events and carrying them out, not to take note of what was happening. There were many ways of not burdening one\u2019s conscience, of shunning responsibility, looking away, keeping mum. When the unspeakable truth of the Holocaust then became known at the end of the war, all too many of us claimed that they had not known anything about it or even suspected anything.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Those powerful words emerged with special force because von Weizs\u00e4cker\u2019s father had loyally served the Hitler regime as an important diplomat\u2014and been convicted by a Nuremberg tribunal of war crimes.
