Nazi legacy: The troubled descendants

[Dennis the 'Bloody Peasant']

The names of Himmler, Goering, Goeth and Hoess still have the power to evoke the horrors of Nazi Germany, but what is it like to live with the legacy of those surnames, and is it ever possible to move on from the terrible crimes committed by your ancestors?

Find this quite fascinating...it could apply to any descendant of any person that committed a horrific crime or atrocity.

For Bettina Goering, the great-niece of Hitler's designated successor Hermann Goering, she felt she needed to take drastic action to deal with her family's legacy.
Both she and her brother chose to be sterilised.
"We both did it... so that there won't be any more Goerings," she explains.
"When my brother had it done, he said to me 'I cut the line'."

Not really similar but still kind of similar, I found that a relative of mine volunteered for SS in the eastern front. Thought that was pretty fucked up.

Ah, it must be horrible to feel such a heavy burden ... when really you should have none.
