Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire " We paid the forced laborers exactly as much as German workers and we treated them well,”

I probably see this somewhat differently than some of you do, but I don't see as anyone living today, has to apologize for something that happened before they were born. My ancestors owned slaves, that was over a 150 years ago. Big deal, as it doesn't bother me in the least that they did. That was then, this is now. There is no way that I can go back and change anything my ancestors may have done, besides it was legal for them to own those slaves.

Having said that, I'm not condoning slavery or the forced labor that occurred in WW2, but apologizing it for it today changes absolutely nothing that happened then.
