I still don't understand why these European governments held onto these files for so long. This was the burning question, yet the broadcast didn't even broach the question until halfway through, and even then gave the skimpiest of answers. The reporter didn't even name the governments involved. Sure, they said that the governments holding onto the files claimed the families' need for secrecey, but why were there no follow-up questions asked of these governments? Why weren't academic or diplomatic experts not included and interviewed as to what they thought were the reasons?

This was one aspect of the news segment that was very frustrating. Quite frankly, the behavior of the governments was the real news, and this news segment skimmed right over it. Seeing survivors talk about their experience was moving, but it wasn't news. It didn't tell us what we haven't already heard many times. Yet that's what they filled the time with.

A little more aggressive reporting was called for here, not a resort to a predictable story line.

Puts a knot in the pit of my stomach to think that in many ways so many people have forgotten or refuse to see the truth of this..

Please indicate air date for this and other] video clip. I'm forwarding it, but would like to indicate when it was aired as well.

It would be right around the date of this post, but the link above no longer works anyway.
