Summary

When Katrin Himmler, the great-niece of Heinrich Himmler, the head of Hitlers SS and chief perpetrator of the Holocaust, was 15, one of her school mates asked during a history lesson if she was related to the Himmler. Yes, she stammered, at which there was a deathly hush in the classroom and the teacher, embarrassed and unsure, quickly moved the lesson on. As she grew olderand married an Israeli Jew with whom she had a sonKatrin realized that she could no longer avoid her family history. Katrin Himmlers cool but meticulous examination of the Himmler story reveals, in all its dark complexity, the gulf between the normality of bourgeois family life and the horrors perpetrated by one member. This riveting family memoir provides essential new information on the private life and background of one of the twentieth centurys most notorious killersnot a lone evil executioner, but a middle-class family man, loved and fully supported by his respectable German family. It also offers a unique account of one womens courageous attempt to deal with her chilling inheritance.
