    If you look at anyone with recent German ancestry, you’ll find nazis. One of my great grandfathers was a nazi. Is that some kind indictment against me? Does it outweigh the other three ancestors that fought against fascism? I don’t understand why people make such a big deal out of this.

      Only an indictment against you if you lie about it and cover for your family’s past. Everyone’s got a history of course, it’s about how you acknowledge that and live your life. Her behaviour on this is shameful, therein lies the problem.
