In 1940, the German sons and daughters of infamous Nazi dignitaries Himmler, Göring, Hess, Frank, Bormann, Speer, and Mengele were children of privilege at four, five, or 10 years old, surrounded by affectionate, all-powerful parents. Although innocent and unaware of what was happening at the time, they eventually discovered the extent of their fathers' occupations: These men - who were capable of loving their children and receiving love in return - were leaders of the Third Reich and would later be convicted as monstrous war criminals. For these children, the German defeat was an earth-shattering source of family rupture, the end of opulence, and the jarring discovery of Hitler's atrocities.
How did the offspring of these leaders deal with the aftermath of the war and the skeletons that would haunt them forever? Some chose to disown their past. Others did not. Some condemned their fathers; others worshiped them unconditionally to the end. In this enlightening book, Tania Crasnianski examines the responsibility of eight descendants of Nazi notables, caught somewhere between stigmatization, worship, and amnesia. By tracing the unique experiences of these children, she probes at the relationship between them and their fathers and examines the idea of how responsibility for the fault is continually borne by the descendants.

My mother and father were born before the war started and my grandparents on both sides were born before the first WW.
My parents did not talk a lot about WW2 and what was going on, a little here and there my maternal grandparents did not mention it at all and that was due to the fact that they were in the “Party” if you let my paternal grandmother tell it.
My Oma was the only one that told me things, I’m the youngest out of 3 children and the only one that was ever interested.
It just wasn’t really talked about much, in school we went over it but more of a conversation that told us to never ever let something like this happen again in Germany. Never be racist, never judge anyone and never ever say “ HEIL”you know who because that’s against the law in Germany.
If you wanted details you had to read or ask your family elders.
My Oma told me that everyone was a nazi and if they said they weren’t then they were lying!
She said, you had to be a Nazi because of the SS found out you weren’t you might get shot on the spot. Family would tell on family, friends on friends if it came down to it.
Anyway, this book is extremely helpful in understanding what not only the children of these Nazis felt but also what these monsters did themselves.
You will find out things that you might not have known about Höss or Mengele, or their children.
It’s a fantastic book about a heart wrenching time and the worst time in history, a time that I hope that Germany can make up to Israel and the Jewish community one day.
Very good

Some stayed loyal to their fathers. Others blames the Jews. A few refused to believe their fathers were involved in the atrocities. Several changed their names. Most hid their identities.
I’m glad I was able to read their stories.
