From the New York Times:

Why Old Nazis Are Still Useful

By ANNA SAUERBREY MAY 1, 2015 BERLIN — THE trial of Oskar Gröning, the 93-year-old “accountant of Auschwitz,” began last week in the German city of Lüneburg. … It is one of the last chances we will have to hear the victims and seek justice from someone who actually participated in the Holocaust. The rapid disappearance of the “Zeitzeugen,” the contemporary witnesses — both survivors and perpetrators — will change how we Germans think about ourselves. Especially the perpetrators; in a bizarre way, we will miss them when they’re gone. … We must find a new narrative, a new way to ensure “never again.” Not through ideology, but through action — for example by more generously helping the refugees that seek asylum in our country. Instead of trying to transfer a vague feeling of inherited guilt to yet another generation, we should change from remembering what we must never forget to knowing why. Anna Sauerbrey, an editor on the opinion page of the newspaper Der Tagesspiegel, is a contributing opinion writer.

This is a very defeatist attitude on the part of Fraulein Sauerbrey. Letting in a few hundred million of the four billion Africans of 2100 is a weak substitute for having genuine Nazis around to deplore.

Germans are good at technology, so they should drop everything to find a technological fix for keeping old Nazis alive so we will never live in an age without trials of Nazis. Find some 86-year-olds who were 16 in 1945 and resolve to keep at least one alive by all means necessary until he can be put on trial in 2050 at age 121.

Or, Germany should launch a Manhattan Project to download elderly Nazi brains to computers so the world will never run out of Nazis to prosecute.

Or clone old Nazis. Wasn’t there a movie about that?

Or keep one Nazi brain alive in a jar.

Or as Mr. Anon points out, we could invent time travel, a Time Masheen to take up back to 1939 when Charlie Chaplin tried to conquer the world.

UC Berkeley historian Yuri Slezkine explained in his award-winning 2004 book The Jewish Century the religious significance of keeping Nazis viable:
