Hitler's Children
Thou shalt honor thy mother and thy father.
Directed by Chanoch Ze'evi
Produced by Maya Production
A sobering documentary exploration of inherited guilt and moral reckoning, examining how descendants of Nazi leadership navigate the unbearable weight of their family names.
Their family name alone evokes horror: Himmler, Frank, Goering, Hoess. This film looks at the descendants of the most powerful figures in the Nazi regime: men and women who were left a legacy that indelibly associates them with one of the greatest abominations in history. What is it like to have grown up with a name that immediately raises images of genocide? How do they live with the weight of their ancestors' crimes? Is it possible to move on from the crimes of their ancestors?
