Let it go. The pursuit and prosecution of these old men is absurd.

Members of both my parents' families died in the concentration camps. My mother never stopped grieving for her lost siblings and her mother. If she were still alive, I'm sure she'd want this man to suffer for his part in it. I'm the next generation, and I don't feel that way.
