It is a famous and well written speech, made at a time when Germany was still a cohesive country and WWII criminals were still alive.
I don't see the relevance when we face completely different issues nowadays. European/German guilt has been used to justify a lot of measures that strangely enough always benefited the upper class and the stock market.

Perhaps there should be a new Weizsaecker speech.
