Jesus words:
«Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself» Matthew´s Gospel 22:35-40
«Amarás o teu próximo como a ti mesmo.» Evangelho segundo Mateus 22:35-40

«8:1 Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.
8:2 And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.
8:3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,
8:4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
8:5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?
8:6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.
8:7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
8:8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
8:9 And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
8:10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
8:11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.» John Gospel 7:53-8.1/8:11

«(...) dimitte nobis debita nostra,
sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris. (...)» Verba secundum Matthaeum 6:9–13
«(...) perdoai as nossas ofensas assim como nós perdoamos a quem nos tem ofendido (...)» Evangelho segundo Mateus 6:9-13
«(...) forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. (...)» Matthew Gospel 6:9-13

“But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also.” Luke Gospel 6:27-29
“Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.” Luke Gospel 6:37

The answer to the tiranny of Nazism and the hommage of it victims is remember what happened for never forget generation by generation but also forgive the cumplicity of many persons with the monstruosity of the leaders, like Hitler or him partner Stalin, responsable together for milions of victims. In my opinion the Human penalty for that kind of human beings is the perpetual privation of them freedom, never what they did to the other Human Beings. The cumplicity with them by other human beings never implicate any kind of vengeance, only the privation of them freedom with different level of penalties in function of the level of gravity of them crimes.

Was not the case of many accomplices of III Reich that fall in an human and brutal injustice, like these SS guards of one of the many horrible champs of concentration created by them leaders:

Elisabeth Becker (20 July 1923 – 4 July 1946)

«(...) It was proved that she had been beating prisoners and that she was in charge of leading them to the gaschambers (...) She introduced a plea for clemency at the Polish Presidency . The court gave a favorable opinion to her demand and suggested a  15 year's imprisonment instead of the capital punishment as her crimes were lesser then Jenny Barkmann’s or Gerda Steinhoff’s , but President Boleslaw Bierut rejected her plea, confirmed the sentence (...)» http://www.geocities.ws/epjacobs4/elisabethe.htm
The President Boleslaw Bierut was an accomplice of the criminal tyrant Stalin that shared Poland with Hitler in a criminal pact in 1939 against Europe and Europeans. These capital penalties, like all, was a crime against Humanity. A court don´t have the right of decision about the sacred life of a human being. Only can private persons of them freedom. What happened in Nazism and Stalinism systems was montruous but the execution of the cumplices of Hitler and Stalin, like these SS guards, was horrible too.  

Ewa Paradies (17 December 1920 – 4 July 1946)

Jenny-Wanda Barkmann (1922 – July 4, 1946)

The monstruosity of nazism against persons created monstruosities against nazis. This example is one in millions of victims of nazism and it terrorism:

Lepa Radić (1925–1943) a partisan victim of nazism. The nazis propose to her the revelation of her comrades and leaders identities. She responded that she was not a traitor and they would reveal themselves when they avenged her.

The abolition of capital penalty is crucial for Humanity. Don´t murder the criminal human being is included in the commandament «You shall not murder». Portugal was a good example in it abolition praised by the Humanist Victor Hugo in XIX century:
«Está pois a pena de morte abolida nesse nobre Portugal, pequeno povo que tem uma grande história. (...) Felicito a vossa nação. Portugal dá o exemplo à Europa. Desfrutai de antemão essa imensa glória. A Europa imitará Portugal. Morte à morte! Guerra à guerra! Viva a vida! Ódio ao ódio. A liberdade é uma cidade imensa da qual todos somos concidadãos» Victor Hugo (1876)

« [...] Messieurs, il y a trois choses qui sont à Dieu et qui n'appartiennent pas à l'homme : l'irrévocable, l'irréparable, l'indissoluble. Malheur à l'homme s'il les introduit dans ses lois. Tôt ou tard elles font plier la société sous leurs poids, elles dérangent l'équilibre nécessaire des lois et des mœurs, elles ôtent à la justice humaine ses proportions ; et alors il arrive ceci, réfléchissez-y, messieurs, que la loi épouvante la conscience [...] »

— Discours de Victor Hugo devant l'Assemblée constituante, 15 septembre 1848.

Jesus said to us to Love the other, included the enemies that implicate we forgive them and wish that they really repent of them ways of destruction and self destruction. By this way of peace we don´t have a long chain of destruction by destruction, war by war, vengeance by vengeance, negativity by negativity.
Jesus talk to us for we feel that and realize in our Being (to be), not only in our must or should be.
