How do people move on, if they are being reminded every year??

There is EVERY need to keep on reminding people about WWII and remembering and honouring those who fought and those who paid the ultimate sacrifice.
If ever there was a just war it was WWII and the fight against Hitler and the Nazi's.
The people who fought for our nation(s), our freedom and our very existence deserve our utmost respect.
And we owe them an enormous debt of gratitude.
They were brave, resilient people who resisted tyranny and helped shape the world we live in today.
Without them you would not be able to spout your selfish, snowflake bollocks on here or anywhere else.
I only hope we never have to rely on the likes of you in the future.
I was lucky enough to work with people who fought in WWII; Desert Rats who fought Rommel in the desert, paratroppers who saw action in Arnhem. In my very first job on leaving school I worked with a man who was in the first group of soldiers who entered Belsen....his vivid recollection remains with me to this day.
I knew people who were held in P.O.W. camps in both the European arena and in the far east.
Over the years I've met quite a few who served, unfortunately they've all passed and can no longer retell their stories first hand.
We owe it to them to remember their service and relate their stories for them in an effort to ensure it never happens again.
We need to remember the horror of war and learn as much as we can from it in order to minimise the chance of such a large scale global war ever occurring again.

There are some things you can't move on from, because they need to be remembered in order to try and prevent them happening again.

I been saying the same thing about racism /slavery. They should teach that stuff in college not grade school. It just keeps it rolling teaching them at a young age about it.
