There's still grudges but you don't see aggressive acts from Jews on to Germans.
If they do deal, it's on a much higher and intellectual level e.g. potentially inflating the number of victims in concentration camps to get greater payback from wartime Germany.

...This is just another reason to be leery, do you really want to carry that baggage. Move on.

By justifying current actions from past treatment, you are only making it far worse on how people stereotype and treat you in the future.
