Niklas Frank was just seven years old when his father, Hans Frank,
Hitler's legal adviser and Governor General of occupied Poland, was
executed at Nuremberg as a Nazi war criminal. Throughout his life,
Niklas has attempted to come to terms with the enormity of the
crimes his father committed, and this remarkable book traces how
after years of research he uncovered the extent of the horror
unleashed by the man who was known as the butcher of Poland. The
Father is an extraordinary account of a scarred son struggling to
comprehend the depravity of the acts that were committed by his
father. Whereas other descendants of Hitler's henchmen and
co-collaborators have tried to explain or to forget the crimes of
their forebears, Niklas's disgust for his father's actions is
unremitting. This book is his attempt to seek revenge. Featuring
forewords by Philippe Sands and Sir Ian Kershaw, The Father is by
turns shocking, twisted and heart-rending; a devastating settling
of accounts written by a son addressing his father as he pictures
him burning in the eternal fires of hell.
