The Sudeten Germans are "incorrigible"

Czech human rights activist Peter Uhl has been awarded the Sudeten German Homeland Association's Karlspreis. Journalist Alena Wagnerova takes the opportunity to comment on the expellees: "On the one hand I am ashamed about what happened in the border area after the war and critical of the expulsion (of the Sudeten Germans). ... However, the Sudeten Germans insist on seeing all the errors only on the Czech side. They have never reflected on their own behaviour towards those Germans who actively fought against Heinlein [the Nazi dictator of the Sudeten Germans and a close associate of Hitler's] in Sudetenland. ... The Sudeten Germans constitute the one segment of German society that has failed to learn the lessons of the past."
