My father was the last combat veteran of WW2 from my family, and lived long enough to enjoy Youtube videos. This, an homage to the trümmerfrauen, used to reduce him to tears. Don't assume it was guilt -our entire European family in Lithuania was murdered by Nazi Germany in 1941, but he was moved by the rise of a new and honorable Germany, which would become the most principled state in Europe. In German, butyou'll get it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5nOLh62DbY
