<p>[QUOTE=&quot;svessien, post: 663659, member: 15481&quot;]Christian, as you may know, Knut Hamsun is awarded a commemorative coin this year. I haven&#039;t bought it, but am not into modrn comemms anyway.</p><p>The Hamsun coin was controversial in Norway, because of his nazi sypathies. However, he was primarily a writer, and can not be held responsible for the actions of anouther contrys government, IMO. Not more than blaming Nietsche for inspiring Hitler, I think.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I agree that sensitivity is a good idea. That is why I reacted when reading the original post under the broad headline &quot;German coins&quot;. I have so much positive experience with the people of Germany, and I honestly think there are more pressing issues today than World War 2. :smile</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Still, &quot;never forget&quot;, is a good idea. &quot;Never forgive&quot; is not.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
