No, you should not.
My Grandfather was also involved in the holocaust. He got into a fist fight with a priest and when he died they had to find a priest who was drunk to bury him.
Do not feel guilty about the past, but feel proud. Proud that your generation has not been like that, and that you have broken the cycle before it could start. What he did has not influenced who or what you are, and you should be proud. |

No, you shouldn't feel guilty, but if you want to make yourself feel better, learn about the Holocaust and use your knowledge and experience to teach others so that it won't happen again. |

Of course you can not assume their guilt... you can, however, piss on their graves. |

No. You weren't involved. Disgust at what they did is enough. |

No, you cannot inherit the sins of your father. (Then again, that doesn't say much about a grandfather) |

You can be and should be ashamed of THEIR actions, but you were not involved in the killings, so why should you feel guilt? |

The son is not responsible for the sins of his father or grandfather.
Your life cannot be dictated by your past, unless you allow it.
Free yourself up from this situation, stay clear of like groups and life your life the way you see fit.
Let it go! This is only your problem if you want it to be! |

You can only control what you do with your life, not what your ancestors have done with theirs. We all make enough of our own mistakes we can feel guilty about without carrying the guilt of previous generations.
If you agree with what happened in the death camps, then you should feel guilty. Otherwise, forget it. I don't feel guilty because some of my ancestors may have owned slaves or done some terrible act. I only feel guilty about my own shortfalls.
Hope this helps you. |

definently not! we only have family history so that we can learn from it, not be ashamed of it. learn from his mistakes and make you life more worth while. do something for someone else, make yourself not be known as the grandson of a Natzi, but a person who was reliable and helpful. make your own name. you are your own person, make "you" who you want to be. |

Not unless you were directly involved. Your ancestors' crimes aren't yours. |

If you enjoy inherited ill-gotten gains like the Bush Crime Family did from trade with Nazi sweat shops. Otherwise, probably not. |

Why would you feel guilty for someone else's actions? Just because you are related does not mean that you share the same values. |

Of course not! YOU didn't do it, therefore, you are not guilty! |

No. We do not punish the sons for the sins of their fathers. That is inhuman.
And the concept of collective guilt is pure evil personified, little different than the same notion of collective guilt that lead to the Holocaust. |

My grandfathers rounded up people in Africa, I have no quilt only sorrow that America has to deal with all the crime now. |

The only instance I can think of where the child is legally punished for the crimes of the parent is abortion -in the case of rape or incest |

We all need to be aware of injustice. As English philosopher Edmund Burke said, ‘The only thing necessary for the triumph [of evil] is for good men to do nothing.’ |
