I think at some point you might absolve the present-day organizations of the sins of their predecessors - organizations, corporations, families, countries are made of people, and the moral responsibility ultimately lies with the individuals who choose to act, to not act, or to allow others to do so. But it's also the case that an organizations future is based in its past; even if the individual people who chose to act have long since died and there are none alive who know their face or name, if a group of people (an organization, a country, a corporation) has enriched itself through immoral acts in the past, even if it acts morally today, is it right to leave them with the fruits of its crimes? If a people has been impoverished by crimes committed against them in the past, even if no one today is still wronging them, is it right to leave them impoverished today?
