"Should we not be buying VW, BMW, Siemens and Bayer technology and products today because they participated in holocaust and directly collaborated with Hitler?"
No actually, you shouldn't. Thanks for asking.
- Volkswagen was started by Hitler. It was designed to sell affordable cars to public. It actually ran at a loss during this period.
  After the war the British turned it into the commercial entity it is today.
  I’d argue Volkswagen is freed of its original form, when it was effectively gutted and rebuilt by the British.
  Either way, buy a second hand car. Win for the environment and helps cut into corporate profits.
  
  It is also freed from its original form by being nearly eighty years removed.
  I don’t have the time to stay angry forever, let alone against an organisation several generations removed from its foundational sins.
  
  There's of course valid reasons to boycott VW but that's for another topic ;)
- The new vw electric car wasn't on my list of potential cars to get because it was out of my price range. Now I found another reason not to get it. Totally forgot they produced for Nazi germany
