Summary
Katrin Himmler's examination of the Himmler story reveals the gulf between the 'normality' of bourgeois family life and the horrors perpetrated by one member. This family memoir provides essential new information on the private life and background of one of the twentieth- century's most notorious killers - not a lone evil executioner, but a middle-class family man, loved and fully supported by his respectable German family. It also offers a unique account of one women's attempt to deal with her chilling inheritance. --from publisher description.
