The nazis from WWII are dead. Germany has practically erased the Nazi Ideology from their country, I forgive them, they are good people. And I can forgive racists because they are just willfully ignorant, that is their burden.

But you acknowledge that it did happen, even if most involved are dead. You acknowledge that a new crop of Nazis are operating today. Which means you did not, in fact, forget. So that is only pretend forgiveness.  


Maybe I am just quibbling, but I am not fond of your rabbi’s definition. I think there is real value in forgiveness. I do not appreciate it being tied to forgetting, nor do I think that is a safe and healthy way to live one’s life, There is real danger in forgetting that the dog attacks when he is surprised while eating. I forgive him for his attack, but remember that it is his nature is to attack when he perceives a threat, so I behave with caution.
