Firstly that's one hell of a notorious person to have as an uncle! Secondly, collective guilt does not work and I don't think anyone would honestly tar your friend with the same brush just because he is related to one of the most infamous Nazis of all time.

War can and does split families, with the Korean situation being the most obvious example still left. In Germany too families were split up after the end of WW2, not just in Germany proper but in former German provinces like East Prussia which is now part of Poland.
