She's still alive because she was 4 at the time... you can't say the same about the perpetrators. There's nobody left to prosecute, they're all dead. Ancestral sin is not part of the justice system.
Bad things done 80 years ago do not excuse bad things done by someone else today. We're not all entitled to a turn at mass murder or genocide. That's now how morality works.

Perhaps, but the government can still do something: apologize for the original injustice, provide some compensation, and try to prevent similar occurrences in the future. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_Liberties_Act_of_1988 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_Liberties_Act_of_1988
