People are not guilty of their parents crimes&#x2F;behaviour. If you meet someone that has a parent that committed a hideous crime then we do not blame the children.<p>This also works the other way, if your parent is national hero that does not reflect on the children either. You should not take the credit for a parents good work.<p>Obviously it can be difficult for immediate children to take such a dispassionate attitude to parents actions but as more generations go by it should become easier.
