There could be some serious historical value or insights in that journal, even if there are terrible deeds listed within. If you can't bring yourself to read it, perhaps consider sharing it with a WWII museum or historian.
They might be willing to leave your great-grandfather's name out of it, if that's a concern for you.

- amelius 6y agoConsider sending the journal (or a copy) to NIOD: https://www.niod.nl/en https://www.niod.nl/en https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NIOD_Institute_for_War,_Holocaust_and_Genocide_Studies https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NIOD_Institute_for_War,_Holoca...
- amelius 6y agoTo add, from their website: > Even today, interesting things from the Second World War resurface. When people move house, when a house is demolished or when an attic is cleared. These finds can range from a pile of letters, to photos, films, diaries, documents or objects. Don’t throw these documents away. NIOD welcomes donations of new material.
