During the war, Geraldine Schwarz's grandparents were neither
heroes nor villains - they just followed the current. Afterwards
they wanted to forget, to bury it all under the wreckage of the
Third Reich. But decades later, delving through the basement of
their apartment building, Geraldine discovers that her grandfather
Karl profited from the forced 'Aryanisation' of Jewish businesses -
and so she is compelled to investigate her ancestors' past. On her
mother's side, she delves into the role of her French grandfather,
a policeman during the Vichy regime. How guilty were they?
Combining generations of family stories with the history of
Europe's post-war reckoning, Geraldine asks: how did Germans
transform their collective guilt into democratic responsibility?
And, given rising populism in Europe today, how can we ensure we
learn from history?
