I am sometimes ashamed of what my country or the countries of my ancestors do or did, but take the shame not upon myself. I am ashamed that some people are racist, and know well the advantages conferred upon me by my pale skin. I sorrow for the evil ways people treat each other. I am ashamed when my temper gets the better of me.
Whole cultures have risen and fallen that did things as bad as the 3rd Reich. Maybe as the child learns more of history and human nature's possibilities it will get easier to explain.
Children will simplify complex histories, but will grow to form an understanding with good teaching, experience, and much thought. We hope.
