The Fascinating Story of Eight Children of Third Reich Leaders and
their Journey from Descendants of Heroes to Descendants of
Criminals In 1940, the German sons and daughters of great Nazi
dignitaries Himmler, Goring, Hess, Frank, Bormann, Speer, and
Mengele were children of privilege at four, five, or ten 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 father's occupations: These menĀ
their fathers who were capable of loving their children and
receiving love in returnĀ 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.
