    It doesn’t even matter anymore if you have participated or not. If any of your family members have, they can correlate the DNA they have with written genealogy records and basically determine your race, ancestry, defects, etc.

    So when the Nazis in power really want to purge for purity, they already have whatever list they need.

      I don’t think giving them more information to use against you. Is a good thing. Think about it this way, even if the police have you on camera in an area where a crime is committed, that doesn’t mean you can’t still plead the fifth and request a lawyer (assuming you’re in the US). You aren’t required to further their investigation.
