That is true, HB, but my point was that many of the victims of this policy are still alive, albeit in steadily diminishing numbers. This is different from, say, the slave trade, the potato famine and many other historical wrongs, where no amount of meaningless apologising can make a shred of difference to the long dead victims. In this case a (regrettably small) number can feel that their actions have finally been vindicated.
