Decades after the war, people from around the world, young and old, Jews and non-Jews alike, still visit Auschwitz. For many, it is a solemn pilgrimage, a sacred place of remembrance for those who perished there. But imagine walking through it alongside the grandson of Auschwitz’s ruthless commandant, Rudolf Höss.
And what do you do when your father was Martin Bormann, one of the most notorious Nazis in history? Bormann was one of Hitler’s closest confidants and a key figure behind the concept of the final solution and the Holocaust.
Join Gary Kent as he uncovers one of the most heartbreaking stories to emerge from such an unexpected source: the children who grew up carrying a burden of guilt that was never theirs to bear. Most were too young to be complicit in their fathers’ crimes; some weren’t even born until after the war ended. Yet, as adults, they were forced to confront the legacy their fathers left behind. Through their stories, we are invited to reflect on the burdens we inherit and the legacies we leave behind.
