The children of the leading Nazis are an incredibly intriguing phenomenon; are they products of their parents or have they been able to make a clean break from the past - or some combination of the two? This narrative, written by a father and son, consists of interviews occurring during the children's 20s and then 40 years later. It attemps to chronicle the evolution of these people, and to use them as a showcase of how the German people have dealt with their Nazi past. I am not sure that it was an entirely successful narrative, since I found the flow to be a bit disjointed and the tone to be far too speculative, but it was none the less an informative read. ( ) Al termine della seconda guerra mondiale numerosi complici del regime nazista subirono processi di denazificazione davanti ai tribunali alleati. Ma già pochi anni dopo la caduta di Hitler, per molti di essi e per le loro famiglie la vita aveva ripreso il suo corso normale. Invece i figli dei gerarchi nazisti condannati a Norimberga vennero emarginati a lungo, se non addirittura perseguitati, per il nome che portavano. Nel 1959 Norbert Lebert intervistò questi giovani, agli inizi della loro vita professionale: Edda Goring, Gudrun Himmler, Martin Bormann, Wolf-Rodiger Hess, Klaus von Schirach. Quarant'anni dopo, il figlio di Norbert Lebert, Stephan, ha ripreso contatti con quelle stesse persone, continuando il lavoro del padre e potendo tracciare un bilancio delle loro vite tanto ipotecate dai nomi che le hanno segnate. Ma il risultato di questi incontri non è solo la traccia di alcuni destini particolari. È una testimonianza diretta e personale su temi scottanti: che cosa significa avere un genitore che ha partecipato a uno sterminio di dimensioni e modalità inaudite. Si può distinguere la relazione affettiva che si ha con un padre dal giudizio storico sul suo ruolo e sulle sue responsabilità nella tragedia? l figli dei gerarchi nazisti indaga anche il rapporto di una generazione con le colpe di quella precedente, e del rapporto della Germania con la propria storia, facendoci capire che i destini dei figli dei capi del nazismo restano ancora intimamente legati al destino del loro paese. Fascinating yet rough. Norbet Lebert interviewed the children of famous Nazi Leaders in 1959 and the interviews were published in a German magazine to mixed reactions. His son, Stephan, revisted the articles with attempts at interviewing the now elderly children in the 2000s. It's a much more intensely personal memoir than that description seems, perhaps much more understandable to Germans. How do these children come to grips with who their father's were but how to all Germans come to understand the entire Nazi period? Alot of questions without alot of answers but all thought provoking. The poresentation is a bit scattershot but it is still worth reading. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

There are and always have been ways of escaping one's own past. But there are some who have never had this chance: the children of prominent Nazis. On one hand they have the memories of the nice, kind man who was their father, on the other they are confronted with the facts of history: with the madness, the murders, the personal purgatory. The Leberts, father and son, spoke at an interval of forty years - 1959 and 1999 - to these men and women who bore a tainted name and were crushed by the burden of the past: Gudrun Himmler - 75, runs a network for old Nazis in Munich, denies her father did anything wrong; Martin Boorman (junior) - 70, believes his father was a monster; Etta Goring - 70, will hear no bad word about her father; Nicholas Frank (father was in charge of Auschwitz) believes his father was the incarnation of evil. The result is a series of snapshots of rare intensity and a demonstration of how these destinies have more to do with the twenty-first century than many would care to think.
