Oh, 3 of Hitler's nephew's participated in WWII. Two were part of the Axis side, one was captured and killed by the Soviets while the other was detained in Moscow for 12 years (again, by the Soviets). Meanwhile, one nephew was born in Britain, and while he did work in the Nazi party for a couple years under his nephew, he then moved to America where he joined the Navy and helped to combat his uncle for the last year of the war (he was not an active combatant, but what we refer to as a hospital corpsman). He did change his name and went on to have 4 kids. Of the remaining relatives still alive today, they are descended from Hitler's sister and thus do not carry the infamous name.
For a slightly different take on Sins of the Father, Ever have parents who did great things in their youth? Now imagine everyone who knows them are looking at their kids with the "I expect great things from you" look. Heaping that on the shoulders of the kid(s) who don't know nor understand anything about it yet.
"Name one character, name one movie where the hero does that" Okay. In GoT, a metric fuckton of heroes do that to Tyrion Lannister. Catelyn Stark, Jon Snow, Eddard Stark and Brienne are all positively framed as good guys in the plot, yet every one of those characters has either tried to hold Tyrion responsible for all the crazy shit his family does (that'd be Catelyn), thought him deserving of verbal abuse and unworthy of trust because of who his father is (that'd be Jon and Ned) or at least thought "well he does deserve to have his bad thing happen to him, he IS a Lannister" (that'd be all four of them). Bonus points for Jon who only seems to think that way of Tyrion before getting to know him personally, and grows out of this mentality pretty fast. In Harry Potter, Ron basically decides that everyone who is related to a Death Eater is a Death Eater. Similarly, Harry's own father used to bully Snape based on Snape's housemates being Death Eaters, and Harry himself goes a _lot_ out of his way to be paranoid about how much of an evil person with no redeeming qualities Draco is, again, based on his parentage. Both Harry's and his father's stances are unquestionably portrayed as morally wrong, James' is characterized as a very very bad phase he grew out of and Harry's makes him miss the moral dilemma Draco was living through the whole 5th and 6th books, but it is quite satisfying to see that, without growing to understand that the Malfoy were just normal people with normal desires, fears and love like himself, Harry would have lost against Voldemort in the end. Him deciding to trust Narcissa Malfoy to be a loving and caring mother to Draco at the end is super important for his victory, he'd just have been executed by five hundred death curses at once otherwise. Funny enough, Ron is _never_ proven to be wrong on his stance, and no moral consequences ever come his way. Basically everyone he decided to treat as less than a human being because their parents had been part of a group 20 years ago turns out to be less than a human being and Ron is never called to task on it. Every descendant of a Death Eater he antagonizes for that turns out to be a piece of shit of a person, but the story never seems to notice that Ron never learns that it was wrong to judge them for their parents' sins. In Lord of the Rings, both Legolas and Gimli are absurdly racist towards each other for previous slights committed by elves and dwarves. This attitude is constantly recognized as an unhealthy one by other members of the Fellowship and it's to everyone's relief when they start to put it behind at the end of the first book and overcome it altogether to become best of friends in the second, but it was still there at first. In one of Narnia's weirdest takes ever in my opinion, the whole book of The Horse and his Boy has the two main human characters decide that any person born in the southern regions of Narnia is evil until proven otherwise. The thing that makes this all weird is the fact that both of them were from there. Neither character ever learns any redeeming quality about the southerners (other than "we're not shit people ourselves and we grew up there") and, in one of the stupidest conclusions to this kind of story, their addition to the lineage of Narnia's throne does absolutely nothing to redeem southerners at all, so in every other Narnia story the southerners keep being depicted as servants of Satan who have no morality worth speaking of _without it ever being mentioned that one of them is literally part of the lineage of kings in the good guys side._
You’re probably thinking of black panther. The main characters father kills his brother but then the brothers son comes after the main character in revenge.
6:53 it is unclear if you can tell this but the Tanach is Jewish, you said 'thats the thing with christianity' so I am a little confused about what exactly you are speaking of in that moment
I mean it's just that the Tanach is the Old Testament in Christianity, and Christians love to use segments of the Old Testament to justify their morally dubious ideas that Jesus and the New Testament God would absolutely frown upon and chide them for.
Name Explain made a video called "Are there any Hitlers left?" The TLDW version: the last surviving relatives of A. Hitler felt a responsibility to not found their own families and ensure that the Hitler name dies with them. I'm not certain if I agree with them. If I was in that situation, I may have changed my name to avoid minor and major everyday anoyances, but that would have been it.
According to Alexander Stuart-Houston (son to Hitler's half-brother), there was no intentional pact for that side of the family. It's just that only one of them got married, and none had kids. Meanwhile, Hitler's half-sister Angela had 3 kids, 2 of which had 3 kids between them. But beyond that, Wikipedia doesn't go into detail, which is fair.

From what I know, hitter has two great nephews. Both of which feel tangentially responsible, and refuse to have children so their family can die out
Karl Marx has a living great-great-grandson named Joseph Marx who does parkour for money outside of a McDonalds in Kingston, UK.
Benito Mussolini has a granddaughter that's a

"You should use your common sense..."
Me: Have you met people with common sense? Would love to meet them. Not very common today. 😆
100% correct. The only thing, I think, is common is stupidity. Maybe arogants is a better word.
Yeah
