Hitler’s Children
Here is a project that seems quite powerful:
…a mesmerizing dialogue between teh children of the perpetrators of the Holocaust and the children of the surivors. Both live out the Holocaust daily, unable to move forward. Both finally face the past and are empowered to move on.
The trailer video contained here is worth watching.
I’ve always felt the weight on my shoulders from my Dad’s survival of the Dachau concentration camp. I cannot escape those shadows. It had never crossed my mind that the children of the perpetrators must have similarly been marked and shaped by that experience. Very poignant, and the trailer seems to confront the issue with depth and introspection. It includes the story of a marriage between the son of a survivor and the descendant of a major Nazi criminal.

When the movie Life is Beautiful came out back in 1997, I felt a gnawing guilt at enjoying the movie so much, when the protagonist, as a concentration camp prisoner, found a way to laugh and make others laugh, amidst dehumanizing circumstances. Could a sense of humor have a place in such a dark episode [...]
