- In Germany, today, there are some Eastern Germans asking to have the
- property that they owned, or thier parents owned, before the wall
- went up. These Germans have a claim that they were "on the wrong side
- of the fence" and were not allowed to return. Do these people have a
- claim to the property. They were, in a sense, conquired and lost
- thier land. Should they get it back?
-
- What about the person(s) now holding that property? They have worked
- hard to obtain it. Probably made the needed repairs over the years.
- Have made a livelyhood(sp?) working the land. Should these people
- give up their land. What happens to them? Should they be held to blaim
- for what a few governments did?
-
- If my Grandfather kills another man, Do I then go to jail for his crime
- because he died before the trial?
-
- These things have been running through my mind lately. Please do not
- flaim me. I looking for answers and solid information that could help me
- settle this issue in my brain. The Germany issue above is from a good
- friend of mine who recently was doing buisness in Germany and saw some
- of whats going on first hand. I know of no articles or papers to back it
- up with...sorry...
