Germany had done more than enough already for preserving the holocaust memories and condemning themselves. The reality is that Germany was not the first one and isn't the last one who partook in the genocide. The only reason Germany is getting so much blame is that it lost the war. That doesn't excuse the rest. For example, the Soviet Union also committed genocides[1], tried to destroy cultures[2], and forced people to use Russian instead of their language. You don't hear Russia being remorseful about its past.
What I'd like to see, is Germany taking a stronger stand against those who are committing genocide right now and supporting the people who are fighting for their freedom. I'm talking about Uyghurs, Rohingya, and Ukrainians.
