The world (especially Europe) has supposed to have grown up in the last 70 years and put a lot of this behind us yet we're pandering to show trials designed to squeeze sympathy for the holocaust victims and not to allow us to forget what happened..(as if that would ever happen)

I doubt it sadly. The same old tensions and hatreds are still there as we have seen in Bosnia, Russia and many other places around the globe (N/S Korea, China/Japan, Syria, Iraq, Libya, Israel etc. etc. etc. The forces at work seem to transcend logic/common sense and I don't think we've learned much at all . IMHO it's just a question of how long before something major sets it all off again and we have global conflict...
Just my happy thought for the day...
