- that which regards the concessions which the Federal state and a part of the private economy made to the Axis powers.
- that which concerns the issue of restitution of assets once the war had ended.

“If we focus mostly on how we might have been partly or wholly to blame for what might have been less than a perfect, problem- free childhood, our guilt will overwhelm their pain. It becomes a story about us, not them. . . . When we listen, accept, and acknowledge, we feel regret instead, which is simply guilt without neurosis.”
—Jane Adams (20th century)
“Let us be aware that while they preach the supremacy of the state, declare its omnipotence over individual man, and predict its eventual domination of all peoples of the earththey are the focus of evil in the modern world.”
