HITLER'S CHILDREN
Sons and Daughters of Third Reich Leaders
Göring. Hess. Mengele. Dönitz. 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.
Hitler‘s Children is a riveting and intimate look inside the families of Nazis. Based on exclusive and in-depth interviews, Gerald Posner provides an unforgettable portrait of some children ravaged by anger and hatred while others are riven with guilt and plead for forgiveness.
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 the complexity of what historian, Hannah Arendt, dubbed “the banatity 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.
Hitler‘s Children serves as a vivid reminder to all of us of the dangers of ignoring anti-Semitism or thinking it will go away or can‘t get any worse. These are the children who saw their fathers corrupted by the insidious, centuries-old hatred, and their accounts serve as a clarion warning to us today that all decent people must redouble their efforts against racial and religious hatred.
The book, perhaps more timely today than when it was published in 1991, includes a new introduction, explaining why this book is particularly important during a time of rising international anti-Semitism.
GERALD POSNER was one of the youngest attorneys ever hired by the Wall Street law firm of Cravath, Swaine & Moore. He is the acclaimed author of a dozen books, including three New York Times bestsellers and one finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in History. Posner has written dozens of articles for national magazines and newspapers and has been a regular contributor to NBC, the History Channel, CNN, FOX News, CBS, and MSNBC. He lives in Miami Beach with his wife, the author Patricia Posner.
