  7. I do not mean to deny that, to the extent an individual conceives of his or her identity, in part, in terms of membership in an ethnic group - and many, if not most of us, do - that self-understanding generates certain moral requirements: to try to understand as fully and objectively as possible the past of the ethnic group one identifies with. to acknonwledge the darker chapters of its history, the wrongs and crimes committed by earlier generations, and, most importantly, to help make sure such wrongs and crimes are not perpetrated again (on this see Jerzv Jedlicki, "Heritage and Collective Responsibility," in Ian Maclean, Alan Montefiore, and Peter Winch (eds), The Political Responsibility of Intellectuals, Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1990). But this, of course, has nothing to do with the conception of collective biological responsibility presupposed by the World War II argument.
