In 1959, German journalist Norbert Lebert set out to interview the offspring of former Nazi leaders young adults with surnames like Himmler and Hess, Bormann and Gering. Six years after Norbert's death in 1993, his son Stephan, a journalist, discovered the interviews among his father's papers and set out to re-interview the children, now senior citizens. Gudrun Himmler and Edda Gering refused. But Wolf-Rediger Hess, Martin Bormann Jr., Niklas and Norman Frank, and Klaus von Schirach were all willing. This is a powerful book, masterfully conceived, brilliant and devastating. The original interviews are interspersed between Stephan's conversations with (or in the case of Himmler and Gering, about) the former young adults who sat with his father. Other chapters explore the parent-child relationship and the nature of evil as they emerge from those conversations. The depth and complexity of the parent-child bond is evident throughout the book, whether the child in question has embraced (Burwitz, Hess) or rejected (Niklas Frank, Bormann) the values and beliefs of the father. Because he's viewing events from a greater distance, Stephan is able to raise a number of wide-ranging questions exploring the reasons behind the national outrage when Niklas Frank published a brutal piece detailing the depth of his hatred toward his father, former governor-general of Poland, and musing on the country's collective denial of individual responsibility during the war. There is much more to be written about the psychology and emotional life of the generation of Germans that fought WWII. But the Leberts have done a remarkable job of breaking a trail through the morass of repression and denial obscuring issues that will continue to disquiet future generations. 20 b&w photos.

According to this web-page http://www.posner.com/book4.htm Mengele have a son named Rolf Mengele. Rolf didn't know that his father was alive until he was at the age of sixteen.

I've read my fathers keeper, it gave good insight into what alot of the children experienced after the war but not so much during. And then there's some holes in it regarding the Speer children among others.

Hallo Dave,

I do not have the answer to your question. All that I know about the situation is from the article. I, too, would like to know if she traveled to England and also what prompted her to move to South Africa?

Regards,

Durand

"George Armstrong was one of the first soldiers into Goring's home in East Prussia."

Just exactly when was the British Army in "East Prussia" in 1945? They really ought to try to get their facts straight.

Perhaps this confusion has arisen because George Armstrong was the first one into "Goering's home."
Somebody like Goering would have presumably had several homes. The principal one was Karinhall. Karinhall was north of Berlin. Did he have another in East Prussia? I don't know. Sounds as though somebody has put two and two together and made 5.
