It has been interesting to observe the changing attitude over the years. At college I became close friends with a German student and we had many conversations about the problem of national guilt and how one moves forward. This centenary year there have been a great many programmes and events dealing with the two world wars and a big education programme for the young. Gone are the days of simplistic, nationalistic attitudes but I do believe that knowledge, rather than denial, is essential.<br />Sadly, as current news informs us, any nationality is capable of atrocities .
