All German citizens were made to pay reparations after WWII (in the form of physical labor and low food rations). Do you believe this was fair? Why or why not?
I am a big believer in positive reinforcement. I don’t think that punishing people by subjecting them to the same treatment they had forced on others would be helpful. I would have thought that inclusivity training would have been better.
I so agree with you. This was another thing I learned about from this book. I had no idea that German farmers were forced to do physical labor. This shocked. me so much, I had to go online to see if it was true. How could I miss so much history!

I don’t think so. You could argue that some of what happened could have been prevented, so perhaps as a nation the citizens were responsible. But again drawing a parallel to current events, there are things happening that I vehemently opposed, yet as a citizen I’m powerless to change. And punishment tends to cause resentment, rather than changing the future
