Although innocent and unaware of what was happening at the time, they eventually discovered the extent of their father's occupations: These men--their fathers who were capable of loving their children and receiving love in return--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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 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, which has been translated into eleven languages, 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.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTania Crasnianski\u003c\/b\u003e was born in France of a German mother and French-Russian father. \u003ci\u003eChildren of Nazis\u003c\/i\u003e is her first book.
