Kennedy got to the moon by giving some Nazis a free pass for heavy participation in the Holocaust.

Okay, so... you have scientists that know how to solve life-saving problems, but they used to work for the bad guys.

Do you execute them and society continues suffering.

Or do you offer them a chance at redemption.
