In Reply to: How is it that... posted by Rick Bennett on May 24, 2001 at 03:06:25:
>>Many German Americans provided heroic service during the war<<I have wondered why there are no films about this. Japanese Americans served during WWII and have been honored both in a motion picture, "Go For Broke", and an excellent video documentary, "Beyond Barbed Wire." They are also the subject of a special section of the excellent Home Of Heroes website (see below).
>>as a German American one can not help but feel somehow related to what happened over there<<
I am a second generation American of Japanese ancestry (both my parents and grandparents were interned during WWII), but have also felt somehow related to the aggression and attack on Pearl Harbor, and more remotely, with the war atrocities committed against the Chinese and Koreans. I yearn for an official apology from Japan for the latter, but unfortunately realize that things change very slowly over there (except for Prime Ministers).
Follow Ups:
There is indeed very big difference in how Germany and Japan handled their shameful pasts. While Germany had gone out of its way to acknowledge it and compensate the victims, Japan is simply taking an opposite course. That is shame.On a similar note, there is only one way for the Russian regime to clenser itself of ITS attrocities. Thay MUST tear down the Lubianka jail, where so much blood was spilled, where millions perished, and errect a memorial in its place.
With Putin being the scumbag that he is, there is no chance of that. Until then, that horrible building shall remain there, complete with the memorial board bearing Dzerzhinski's ugly face - you can see it between the third and forth windows from the left on the ground floor.
...and you want it torn down? Shame!clark
