104. I agree but I also take into consideration that we're talking about very recent history
The holocaust isn't something that happened hundreds of years ago, there are still people alive who have experienced it. It's understandable why Germany hasn't come to grips with it and why they have all of these measures in place (I believe their Supreme Court is allowed to outlaw extreme political parties as well). I think that Germany is going to need several generations to heal and once they have I think that some of these laws will be repealed. Although some would caution me that if the laws are repealed healing will turn into forgetting. But I don't forsee Germany forgetting about the holocaust in the future.
