Anyhow, I hardly see how any people can blame a monstrosity such as the Shoah on inflation they suffered 15 years before they starting gassing their victims.
That's a very incendiary statement, not to mention false. it's one thing to surmise that hyper-inflation was a pre-condition of WWII, quite another to think any Germans think inflation caused "gassing their victims."
I can't point to a modern society who has done more to atone for their transgressions than Germany. (Leaving out discussing the role of most citizens in causing the holocaust.) I walk out the door of my house and there are brass markers embedded in the sidewalks with the name of the Jews who lived there before before being carted off to the gashouse. A reminder for repentant people?
Care to discuss unrepentant Euro-amurkan genocide? The difference between gassing and passing out smallpox blankets? The almost total decimation of the buffalo herd so there was nothing to eat and make life's essentials from, or your beloved Minnesotans attacks on villages not at war.
What a cheap frickin' shot, chief redstar.
I sentence you to 10 days without food, walking blindfolded through the Shoah memorial stones in Berlin. Then you can eat for three days, before you embark on just a few retraces of the various Trail of Tears marches.
Bring me even 5% of Germans who are not unrepentant of their grandparents and great grandparents actions, and even 1% who blame inflation, and i'll simply rip up your house owning treaty and throw you onto a reserve. "Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage." - Anaïs Nin

Germans think that inflation led to WW2 and the holocaust.

Germany is definitely calling the shots.
As the Eurozone economy underperforms the rest of the world yet again (as in the first half of the '90's when the Bundesbank imposed high interest rates on the rest of us to finance ost-mark parity and re-building of the East- as well as politically corrupt and illegal funding of centrist politicians in France) we'll know, yet again, who is responsible.
