“The Germans must bear responsibility. But responsibility is not the same as guilt. Those who do not feel guilty and are not guilty of the Nazi crimes nevertheless cannot escape the consequences of a policy, which a far too large part of the German people had willingly joined.” Da Criminali e altri tedeschi, 1946.

(Willy Brandt, nato Herbert Ernst Karl Frahm, politico; Lubecca, 18 dicembre 1913 – Unkel, 8 ottobre 1992)
