I'm not sure if that is true or not. Just a few years ago, I worked in the U.S. as a specialist. Before coming to the U.S., I had to fill out a non-immigrant visa application form. That form have many questions which you have to tick (yes/no questions). One of the question is written someting like this: "Are you a Nazi, or member of any group affiliated to the Nazi party, or believe in Nazi principles and agenda?". Yes, it's a strange question to me (I'm an Asian), but it's there. Probably, that question had been there all along, since the end of WW2 up to the present.
If any of Hitler's relatives migrated to the U.S., I'm sure that they had to fill out such an immigration form. As they had been allowed to stay in the U.S., I wonder what answer they had put to that question.

What did the grand cousin do? You can blame that person for something a relative did. That's like executing a son for a murder the father committed. It just doesn't make sense to punish that person.

This smacks of desperation. I don't believe in inter-generational culpability or privilege anyway, so who cares if the man is related to Hitler!

Relatives of a crazy madman should not be held accountable for actions that he did before they were probably born. They already have a stigma on them because they are related. That should be enough for you.

They have done nothing wrong. why should they suiffer for the sins of an ancestor, and not even a direct bloodline, they are offspring of a half brother, who himself did little or nothing to advance Adolf's sick agenda.
Should every one decended from criminals and psycho's have to suffer for their sins? If we found out your gradfather was a serial killer should you be banished ?

Why does it matter? Just because your relative was evil, it doesnt mean that they have to be punished!

Good question..
They may still have some evil blood in them, but besids that.. I think its perfectly fine..
It would mainly be like great great great great grandchildren and I'm sure they will not do anything.
