Heinrich Himmler took his twelve-year-old daughter on a tour of Dachau. She found it 'very interesting.' She spent the next seventy-six years defending Nazi war criminals. She never expressed a single regret.Children of the Reich follows six sons and daughters of the Third Reich’s most powerful perpetrators - Himmler, Goering, Hess, Hans Frank, Albert Speer, and Josef Mengele - and asks the question history has never fully answered: what do you do when the most documented evil of the twentieth century carries your surname?Some chose denial. Some chose public reckoning. Most chose something more human and more complicated than either. Niklas Frank dragged his father’s photograph through Poland and called him a murderer. Rolf Mengele flew to Brazil to confront his father and received nothing. Gudrun Burwitz died unrepentant at eighty-eight, still protecting SS veterans from justice.Drawing on Nuremberg trial transcripts, personal diaries, and declassified archives, this is narrative history at its most unflinching - a psychological portrait of inherited shame, moral inheritance, and the permanent human problem of reckoning with those we love who committed the unthinkable.Some legacies cannot be returned. They can only be answered.
