Germany also established a National Holocaust Memorial Museum in Berlin for looted property.

Benz once said, "The Holocaust took place, the genocide existed. And it wrought horrible consequences that we continue to suffer from today," Everybody who has been to germany knows that there is absolutely no room for holocaust denial in Germany. It (denying Holocaust) is considered illegal

What crime? This was the law of the land in Germany and the victims were given a hearing in court. How is this different than what the muslims are doing in Islamic countries?

One of the reasons modern Germany enjoys respect in the community of nations is their absolute refusal to let the criminal behavior of their forefathers go unacknowledged.

Good for them.

But many countries did the same thing. The US also sterilized many "weak men".
