- as if the actual very guilty war criminals are even alive anymore...
  
  Their grandchildren and great grandchildren likely had no say in their heinous horrific crimes against our entire species, and punishing them for something they more likely than not either a) knew nothing about or b) knew with great shame isn't exactly going to increase the amount of justice in the world.
  
  Imagine waking up tomorrow and finding out that one of YOUR great grandparents was an irredeemable monster and you were never told about it because there was nothing you could've done about it anyway, but overnight there's now hundreds to thousands of people who want to drag you out of your home and lynch you in the street, all because you "committed" the "crime" of being born.

  I didn't follow this bit. Who are the hundreds of thousands of people calling for the great grandchildren of Nazi war criminals to be dragged out of their homes and lynched?

Good, this isn't the right time for any of that, Russia will just use it all to make more "Ukraine is run by Nazis and we have to free them" propaganda.

  It should have been done 70 years ago, its too late now and doesn't help anyone, it will literally enable the modern "nazis" with more propaganda material.
