I have a better understanding of this issue than most because of the unique circumstances of my birth. I was born in Germany and adopted by an American family; my adoptive father was stationed over there.
Fast forward; I’ve always known that I was adopted and for years my mom told me to look up my blood family which I never did.
Let’s say for the sake of argument that I did and in so doing, found out that some of them were members of the Nazi party and some were in the SS and had participated in atrocities.
Here’s the $64,000 question: as their descendant, am I guilty of those crimes?
Awaiting your response.
Nobody is guilty of crimes committed by another person.
