7/10
interview of family of high ranking Nazi official
7 October 2008
first of all, in response to the previous post this movie handles primarily the reaction of the SECOND generation, not the THIRD generation in response to the events and atrocities of WWII. It was Ludin's FATHER not grandfather who was the Slovakian ambassador. It is only towards the end of the film where the the grandchildren or third generation are interviewed more. also please remember that the film reveals the opinions of a only a very few German citizens. be very careful not to generalize. stereotyping is never good. there are many other books, movies and films which deal with the same subjects matter where the second and third generation comes to terms with the events that occurred in a very different manner. the 'GERMANS' as a whole may not share the same opinion as Barbel or her sisters. the women interviewed are giving their own personal reaction to the Nazi regime and the horrors of the Holocaust. each individual deals with things differently.
