We like facts and reliable sources here. While sources like Quora/Reddit/Wikipedia can be great tools for quick searches, we do not allow such user-generated content as primary source. What’s wrong with Wikipedia?

The title is enough. It should be NSFW.
There's also no "we". Everyone involved in that is long, long dead. I didn't have anything to do with it.
Yeah, the idea that people I've never met who did something I don't agree with decades before I was born define me as a person because we're from the same country is...weird.
I disagree entirely. You can only say I didn't have anything to do with it if you learn from it as a culture and moved on. We still do this. We execute innocent people all the time. We didn't learn from it. We kept doing. It's actively going on. It's not something in the past we can dissociate ourselves with. This isn't something you didn't have anything to do with, this is something you still have something to do with. We all do.
