The memorial in Berlin is primarily an international PR project of the German government. A pathetic, unnecessary "Hello World, look how ve are facing our history" message, making any normal foreign visitor cringe. Apart from that, it's also the generation born in the 40s willing to invoke those feelings of shame and infinite inebtedness in young Germans which they failed to invoke in their parents' generation. And Mr. Young gleefully joining them.
