Hitler's Children

In "Hitler's Children," Gerald Posner explores the complex legacies of the sons and daughters of prominent Nazi figures, including Göring, Hess, Mengele, and Dönitz, who reveal the profound struggle of reconciling their memories of loving fathers with their parents’ roles in history's darkest chapters. Through candid interviews, these heirs grapple with the haunting inheritance of the Third Reich, providing crucial insights into the concept of "the banality of evil." This groundbreaking work offers a rare and intimate perspective on the second generation of Nazi perpetrators, making it a significant contribution to the understanding of this troubled legacy.
