All those Germans in power now were the children of a generation who survived the war as children, and who all had it beaten into them how horrible a people they were and how terrible the atrocity against the Jews they executed.
They’re ignoring 50% of the people their parent’s generation killed, and excusing the other 50%'s children committing their own genocide against a different group…
They’re explicitly not making the same point as me…
there is a deep cultural guilt around the Holocaust, and although many different people suffered, it’s specifically focused on Jews. Even I don’t understand it;
That’s exactly the point op is making.

OP isn’t ignoring it, the culture is.
Is it an excuse, or an explanation?
