    Bravo for Mrs Merkel for having the guts to do this.

    It would be nice if the Japanese would do the same things.

    I'm actually really surprised to hear she's the first chancellor to do this.

    Me too. Although they're obviously and understandably uncomfortable about it, I've found that the German's don't shy away too much from their ugly past.

    Yes, it would be. At least the Germans acknowledge that something happened.
