The legacy of the Third Reich still deeply affects its descendants today, decades after World War II. This powerful documentary explores the personal journeys of individuals like Baron, a son grappling with the pride and shame tied to his decorated Nazi father, and Betina, whose life is shaped by her great-uncle Hermann Göring’s role in the Holocaust. You’ll witness the hidden truths and emotional struggles of those born into a past they didn’t create but profoundly inherited, contrasting with the harrowing survival stories of Holocaust victims like Samson’s parents. Through unique dialogues at the Austrian Encounter, where descendants of both perpetrators and survivors meet, the film highlights how facing dark history can lead to healing and new narratives, demonstrating that while the past is unchangeable, understanding and human connection can help overcome its enduring shadow.
