    I once spoke to a survivor as a child. I was in my elementary class and we had a Q&A with the man. One child asked him what was the worst thing he saw. All he could get out was "I saw a Nazi rip off..." And he just bursts into tears. I always wondered what he was going to say. But I'm honestly glad he never finished that sentenced.

Our generation will be the last to have Holocaust survivors here, it’s absolutely mind blowing.

Do not set your mind based on what you have heard, rather do the research and come up with your own educated perspective on others.

      I don't think the two can be seen as "equals". Some did it because they feared for their lives. Not forgivable, but understandable. Who DID this was a criminal and they got punished for that. They also knew how to convince people to give them Jewish refugees, like giving food or money, things that were running out during war. I don't feel like I should blame people for this, as war is something I wouldn't wish even to my worst enemy and you don't really know how you would go through it until you live it. BUT, I'd rather focus myself on remembering the good people who hid children or entire families, putting their own lives at risk just because being human was illegal.

      You must understand, the rest of the world isn't as individualistic as the United States. There is a sense of _national_ identity, and that each person is a representation of the country as a whole. Likewise, each person is also a reflection of their country.
      So the country's actions, past and present, are the burden- or pride- of each individual. There are individual Germans, but there is also Germany. Not the government, not the land, but the nation itself. Same with Russia, China, India, etc.
      So, for instance, the Russians feel pride for winning WWII, despite any Russian under ~80 years old never even having taken part. They also feel sadness for the Soviet Union collapsing, pride for Yuri Gagarin, happiness for Tchaikovsky, and so on. Because you are still part of the same nation, the actions of your ancestors are understood to be just as likely done by you.
      What makes you fundamentally more self-aware or 'holier' than every other generation of your nation before or after you? Nothing. So for a nation at any time to do something horrible is a reflection on all of the generations- or at least the ones following the incident. At the very least, it is a permanent mark on the history of your nation.

      Before I had a kid, I probably would have, but afterward, I feel like a horrible person for the way I'd probably have to answer that. It hit me pretty hard. I'm definitely not the idealist I was in my 20s, and it hurts. I think everyone thinks they'd be brave or clever enough to hide a family, but the searches seemed really, really thorough, and to risk your own kids' lives... not so easy to wrestle with. I hope we're never faced with choices like that.

This generation has done so much for equality and acceptance and fighting for rights even if that means losing their privilege. Or have you forgotten that the LGBTQIA+ communtity continues to stand up for themselves even as they are killed for it, and a lot of straight allies do the same? That people, regardless of their skin color, have attended BLM protests risking their life in the process? So don't you dare make this a "Oh look Gen Z and Millennials are such weaklings and unempathetic" BS.

Of course, having Jewish ancestry does not necessarily make one Jewish, but it isn't incorrect to claim that they have Jewish ancestry. To be Jewish means to have a connection with your past, which is admittedly difficult if one doesn't know about one's past, but there are ways of determining Jewish heritage through testing.
