Gregory's Server@bastianallgeier seems rather harsh judging him as a young boy, who brain had not fully developed. He was still a child at 16. My grand dad was in the kkk, and he moved on from it in age and became a work member of society. Who wasn't racist

@jeff @bastianallgeier he was born in 1924 so he forgives the six year old thank Jesus. 16 is still a child and even into ones twenty still underdeveloped and impressionable I can see why his grandfather never discussed these things. @jeff @bastianallgeier he was looking to place blame and asking an old man for answers he didn't have.  @ChickenPwny @bastianallgeier 16, while not quite fully developed, is old enough to have a basic sense of right and wrong. That’s borderline at best. And twenty-somethings? Let’s stop infantilizing actual adults. If one is a Nazi by the time they’re in their twenties — and remain so, as was the case here — that’s entirely on them. My empathy is for those whose lives were snuffed out, not the Nazis who did it. |

“The young, wild boy in the 1920s has all my empathy. The man, that my grandpa turned into, does not deserve any of that.”
