Is it sensible for me to still feel an obligation to avoid purchasing items from companies that benefited from Jewish slave labor under the Nazi regime?
I am Jewish and I refuse to buy most German cars as many of them (VW and Mercedes I know off the top of my head) benefited from Jewish slave labor during WW2. I just read on Quora that Hugo Boss was a staunch Nazi supporter and the official producer of all Nazi uniforms and now I am upset that I own some of his shirts. Is this a reasonable sentiment to still have?

I'll rephrase that in a better way
Should you buy products from companies who benefited from slavery over 137 years ago, whose CEOs today, have no responsibility for?
Are black people today, owed reparations from the companies that profited from slavery?
If an black person marries into a white or asian family, should they have the responsibility of paying reparations too?
Are you willing to not wear cotton for the rest of your life?
(I'm sure you can answer all of these rhetorical questions.)
