Axel,
Technically speaking, you are correct. Ultimately it is the Red Cross that is in charge of the archive. It is the same Red Cross that inspected Nazi camps and did not notice any problem.
Morally, Germany is still responsible. It was the duty of democratic, anti-Nazi Germans to feel enough solidarity with the victims of the Nazi regime to enable access to the archive in the 1950, not in the 21st century.
As to Jonathan, and all Jews for that matter, and as much as you may not like it, descendants of victims of German Nazism are entitled to a certain dose of germanophilia. After all, we are human.
