CLICK TO WATCH FULL DOCUMENTARY ONLINE: docsonline.tv/love-history/?u...
Story
Love History offers a personal view on the political developments in Austria regarding the denazification over the last 60 years. The film emphasizes the personal experiences of women coming into terms with their Nazi family history. How do these women look back on their childhood with Nazi perpetrators as parents? How is their relationship with their family members? And, most importantly, how is history effecting their daily life? The women freely talk about their feelings of guilt, shame and anger. Amongst them is Katrin Himmler, family member of the infamous Heinrich Himmler.

    Himmer's crimes started and finished with him alone. This Lady has no responsibility or guilt to answer for what he did. Brave Lady for being identified? and giving the interview. Respect.

    @@theonlydjtopcat how exactly does one renounce something "when he/she died"? The act of dying itself doesn't renounce anything, unless you claimed to have immortality or something, then it kinda disproves it, but even then, not quite denounces it. And when you die, there's no possibility of renouncing anything from that point on....

    Maybe she doesn't bear the guilt for his actions but something just doesn't seem right about the whole thing. What I really want to know and I don't think she's explaining is are these relatives sorry for what happened or they just saying matter-of-factly it happened and we happen to be related?

    The Holocaust is sometimes both so difficult and extremely easy to understand. It scares me that, conditions can exist in which we may have been raised to be evil. Your family cannot be replaced. It's impossible to imagine without going insane the magnitude of evil that occurred. I am glad the Jewish and Roma people still exist. But to imagine even what a single Jewish child suffered? I can't really. I don't want to. How can I possibly process the murder of 6000,000 people? I can't. I can only acknowledge it in the abstract. By an accident of history I am not related to tye murders nor to any of the victims.

    Yes that is somewhat true as most of Himmlers relatives weren’t directly involved in his crimes and many of his relatives like Katrin know what he did and know that he was a monster and acknowledge it and they do not want to have anything to do with him. However there are of course some exceptions. Himmlers parents while not directly involved in their sons crimes did support Naziasm and supported his rise to power. In addition Himmlers wife Margarete was a adamant anti semite just like Henrich and supported Naziasm and while not directly involved in her husbands crimes she likely both knew of it and supported it. In addition Himmlers daughter Gudrun never denounced her father for his role in the Holocaust and continued to defend him and his legacy for the rest of her life even alleging that he was somehow innocent when in reality Himmler was one of the main perpetrators of the Holocaust other than Hitler as it was Himmler who helped build the Nazi concentration camps and extermination camps and he helped cofound the Einsgruptin which was the Nazi killing squads that were responsible for the deaths via shooting of over 2 million people including 1.5 million innocent Jewish people thus making Henrich responsible for the deaths of millions of innocent people. However Henrichs younger brother Ernest who was Katrins grandfather could be argued as aside from Gudrun and Magrate as one of his worst relatives as like Henrich he played a role in the Holocaust as Ernest had directly caused the deportation and death of a innocent engineer named Major Schmidt just because he was Jewish. Due to being a engineer with expertise Schmidt was protected from the Nazis but Ernest wrote a letter to Henrich dismissing his usefulness knowing full well that Schmidt would then be reclassified and sent to one of the camps. Because of that Schmidt was later deported and likely killed which makes Ernest a killer and therefore a horrible person. It is possible that Ernest could have used his relationship with Henrich to protect Schmidt without endangering himself as Albert Goering who was the younger brother of Hermann Goering used his connections with Hermann to help Jewish people and other people who were persecuted by the Nazis thus likely saving many lives. In additional Heinz Hyederich the younger brother of Reinhard Hyederich reportedly found out about the Holocaust via Reinhards documents and then used his connections with Reinhard to help as many Jewish people that he could.

While she didn't praise Himmler, you can tell she had a level of intrigue in the esoteric aspects of his ideas. Really wish I know wear I read it since, for obvious reasons, it's not one that does the rounds.

    it must be horrible burden carrying a historical family name. brave of her to be interviewed and share her thoughts and point of view. You can choose your friends but not your family

    You cannot be held accountable for the sins of your father or grandfather. We were not there there is no way we can judge their heart only their actions. No reason to destroy your birth name. Be a proud German!

    Poor woman. That really is a terrible cross to bear. I think I would have changed my surname.

    It's asinine to think that a person should be held accountable for another person's actions--related or not--especially if you weren't even born yet when the crimes occurred.
