A very readable look at the Third Reich from a point of view that is different. Posner interviewed several individuals who spent their childhood with fathers who were major war criminals (Hess, Goring), lesser known war criminals and one hero, von Stauffenberg. For the most part the children didn’t know about their father’s involvement in the war, until they heard the results of the Nuremberg Trials. Attitudes range from near hatred by one of Hans Frank’s sons to Hess’s son believing his father was framed, or at least railroaded. One surprising revelation was the fact that Admiral Nimitz gave a statement in support of Grand Admiral Donitz’s use of unrestricted submarine warfare. ( ) I've oftern wondered what it would be like to grow up knowing your parent had committed serious crimes against humanity. Thanks to Library Thing, I found this book. Gerald L. Posner interviewed children of Nazi party members. This book examines their relationships with their fathers and is well worth reading. It is non-judgemental about this second generation, allowing their voices and feelings -- often ambiguous -- to come through. 3380. Hitler's Children: Sons and Daughters of Leaders of the Third Reich Tell About Their Fathers and Themselves, by Gerald L. Posner (read 17 Dec 2000). I found this a book of considerable interest. The author (who wrote Case Closed--the best book on the Kennedy assassination) interviewed children of Hans Frank, Rudolf Hess, Hjalmar Schacht, Dr. Mengele, Admiral Doenitz, Claus von Stauffenberg, Herman Goering, and other nazis, and tells of what their reactions are to their fathers' acts. Quite a good book to read. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Gr?ing. Hess. Mengele. Dn?itz. Names that conjure up dark memories of Nazi Germany and the Holocaust. They were the architects of the Third Reich. And they were fathers. Gerald Posner convinced eleven sons and daughters of Hitler's inner circle to break their silence. This second generation of perpetrators in Hitler's Children struggle with their Third Reich inheritance. In grappling with memories of good and loving fathers who were later charged with war crimes, these heirs to the Nazi legacy add a fresh and important perspective to understanding the complexity of what historian, Hannah Arendt, dubbed "the banality of evil." Hitler's Children is much more, however, than a series of startling family interviews. It is also a spellbinding insider's look at some of the men whose names have become synonymous with terror. This is a classic book about the second generation of Nazi perpetrators (the only one ever to have family interviews with Hess, Mengele, Donitz, and Gr?ing.) No other book author or documentarian ever got those children to talk again. And Norman Frank, the eldest son of war criminal Hans Frank, also never spoke to anyone but Posner.
