Summary of Tania Crasnianski's Children of Nazis
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Every year, a small mountain village in the Austrian section of the Bohemian Forest hosts Third Reich nostalgia seekers from all over Europe. The attendees praise the soldiers’ sense of sacrifice and sometimes even argue that they were victims. #2 Gudrun Himmler, the daughter of Heinrich Himmler, was always afraid of disappointing her father. She was twelve years old when she made a visit to Dachau, the first Nazi concentration camp in Germany. She was shocked by the prisoners, and her father explained to her the properties of the different herbs. #3 Heinrich Himmler, the architect of the concentration camps and the extermination of Europe’s Jews, met Gudrun’s mother, Margarete Siegroth, a divorced nurse, in 1927. He developed an obsession with discipline and uniforms, which helped him shore up his confidence. #4 Heinrich Himmler, the husband of Marga, was a nice little man in the eyes of party leaders. However, in reality, he was a cold and calculating Great Inquisitor who could finally get the upper hand on his inferiority complexes by developing an obsession for racial purity.
Children of Nazis
The Fascinating Story of Eight Children of Third Reich Leaders and their Journey from Descendants of Heroes to Descendants of Criminals In 1940, the German sons and daughters of great Nazi dignitaries Himmler, Göring, Hess, Frank, Bormann, Höss, Speer, and Mengele were children of privilege at four, five, or ten years old, surrounded by affectionate, all-powerful parents. Although innocent and unaware of what was happening at the time, they eventually discovered the extent of their father's occupations: These men—their fathers who were capable of loving their children and receiving love in return—were leaders of the Third Reich, and would later be convicted as monstrous war criminals. ...

Nazis on the Run
This is the story of how Nazi war criminals escaped from justice at the end of the Second World War by fleeing through the Tyrolean Alps to Italian seaports, and the role played by the Red Cross, the Vatican, and the Secret Services of the major powers in smuggling them away from prosecution in Europe to a new life in South America. The Nazi sympathies held by groups and individuals within these organizations evolved into a successful assistance network for fugitive criminals, providing them not only with secret escape routes but hiding places for their loot. Gerald Steinacher skillfully traces the complex escape stories of some of the most prominent Nazi war criminals, including Adolf Eichm...

Zniknięcie Josefa Mengele
Rok 1949. Josef Mengele przybywa do Argentyny. Ukrywając się pod różnymi fałszywymi nazwiskami, ten lekarz, były oprawca w Auschwitz, wierzy, że na nowo ułoży sobie życie w Buenos Aires. Argentyna pod rządami Peróna jest przychylna zbiegom, podczas gdy cały świat pragnie zapomnieć o nazistowskich zbrodniach. Tropienie zbrodniarzy zostaje jednak z czasem wznowione i Mengele musi uciec do Paragwaju, następnie do Brazylii. W przebraniu, zżerany strachem, zmienia kolejne kryjówki, nie zaznając spokoju… aż do śmierci na plaży w tajemniczych okolicznościach w 1979 roku. Jak ten były esesman mógł przez trzydzieści lat wymykać się z zastawianych sieci? Zniknięcie Josefa Mengele prowadzi czytelnika w samo jądro ciemności. Dawni naziści, agenci Mosadu, chciwe kobiety i operetkowi dyktatorzy przewijają się przez świat naznaczony fanatyzmem, polityką, pieniędzmi i ambicjami. Książka uhonorowana prestiżową Prix Renaudot 2017 oraz nominowana do licznych nagród literackich, m.in. Prix Médicis i Listy Goncourtów (w kilku krajach).
My Father's Keeper
There are and always have been ways of escaping one's own past. But there are some who have never had this chance: the children of prominent Nazis. On one hand they have the memories of the nice, kind man who was their father, on the other they are confronted with the facts of history: with the madness, the murders, the personal purgatory. The Leberts, father and son, spoke at an interval of forty years - 1959 and 1999 - to these men and women who bore a tainted name and were crushed by the burden of the past: Gudrun Himmler - 75, runs a network for old Nazis in Munich, denies her father did anything wrong; Martin Boorman (junior) - 70, believes his father was a monster; Etta Goring - 70, will hear no bad word about her father; Nicholas Frank (father was in charge of Auschwitz) believes his father was the incarnation of evil. The result is a series of snapshots of rare intensity and a demonstration of how these destinies have more to do with the twenty-first century than many would care to think.
The Himmler Brothers
Katrin Himmler’s 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- century’s most notorious killers – not 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 women’s courageous attempt to deal with her chilling inheritance. ‘It is part of the creeping discomfort in reading her book to realise the incredibly ordi...
Safe Haven
The controversial 1991 War Crimes Act gave new powers to courts to try non-British citizens resident in the UK for war crimes committed during WWII. But in spite of the extensive investigative and legal work that followed, and the expense of some £11 million, it led to just one conviction: that in 1999 of Anthony (Andrzej) Sawoniuk. Drawing on previously unavailable archival documents, transcripts of interviews with suspects, and disclosures by senior lawyers and policer offers in the War Crimes Units (WCUs), in parallel with the history of bungled investigations in the 1940s, Safe Haven considers for the first time why and how convictions failed to follow investigations. Within the broader...
Los locos en los últimos siglos
Este segundo tomo de la historia de los locos nos lleva del siglo XVIII hasta el presente siglo XXI. Es, por tanto, un repaso a terapias y enfoques clínicos muy distintos y en constante evolución. Muchos psiquiatras, desde los antiguos alienistas a la robótica actual en desarrollo, pasando por inventores de terapias de todo tipo, han configurado el enfoque terapéutico de la locura hasta el momento presente, en que incluso ha llegado a cuestionarse si la locura es verdaderamente una enfermedad o una forma de ser condicionada por la genética del loco. Desde el matarlos, expulsarlos, atarlos o encerrarlos, al triunfante “non-restraint” de Pinel, hubieron de pasar muchos siglos. Los exp...
