How far back, should we go when wanting apologies or reparations for a wrong doing?

anything which happened more than 70 years ago is just history, no one should be apologising or giving any reparations for wrong doings over 70 years old unless processing were started before it was started before 70 years ago, and still in process.
A Nazi concentration camp guard is set to stand trial in Germany soon. That sort of thing is ongoing as it started decades ago. It cant realistically go on much longer. Will he have to make reparations I wonder?

Perhaps the most crucial aspect of Germany's reparations relates to the Holocaust. Six million Jews were killed in World War II, two out of every three in Europe. But, when the state of Israel was created in 1948, it was now possible for Germany to pay reparations to Jews via an organized political unit. Therefore, in September 1952, West Germany agreed to pay Israel three billion Deutschmarks (714 million USD) over the next 14 years. Furthermore, Holocaust survivors continue to receive restitution payments to this day. Indeed, from 1945 to 2018, Germany paid over 86 billion USD to these survivors.

Fair enough really, 6 mil is a fairly big number.
 
One wonders when the state of Israel will start paying reparations to the Palestinians...

Oops, I think I just saw a pig flying past my window :rolleyes:
 
What about these people who have done wrong? Is it it pointless they pay reparation too?
