PRESS:

This is a mesmerizing, blood-chilling book, a set of oral histories of the sons and daughters of 11 of Hitler's top men. It is barely possible to read more than a few pages at a time; the contrast between innocent childhood experience, and the awful understanding of that experience that came with time, is enough to make you weep.

The author has woven a complex and tragic web of testimony.

Absorbing account...And most of the characters in Posner's study are more lurid than anything found in fiction. He set out to discover what happens to children whose fathers were executed or convicted as war criminals. He has done a masterly job.
