My conclusion to all this is as follows: I think many countries in the world with histories of prejudice, persecution or even genocide towards one or more people or peoples, and which have thankfully now made the political decision to come to terms with their past, would be well advised to study what Germany has done since 1945. It would be wrong to compare the Nazi Holocaust of the Jews with any more recent persecutions, but I do believe that there are universal lessons to be drawn from the German experience in the years since.
