具体描述

Once upon a time the Himmlers were just a normal German family, middle-class, hard-working, well-educated. There were three brothers, Gebhart, Heinrich, and Ernst. Heinrich grew up to become the head of Hitler’s SS, mastermind of the concentration camp system, and chief perpetrator of the Holocaust. When Katrin Himmler, Heinrich’s great-niece, was 15, one of her schoolmates asked during a history lesson if she was related to the Himmler. "Yes," she stammered, at which there was a deathly hush in the classroom and the teacher, embarrassed and unsure, quickly moved the lesson on. As she grew older, Katrin gave her family history a wide berth, but married to an Israeli whose family was confined to the Warsaw Ghetto and with a young, half-Jewish son, she realizes that she cannot evade the past so easily. Katrin Himmler’s cool but meticulous examination of the Himmler story reveals—in all its dark complexity—the gulf between the "normality" of bourgeois family life and the horrors perpetrated by one member and a more nuanced portrait of Heinrich himself emerges—not a lone evil executioner, but a middle-class family man, loved and fully supported by his respectable German family.

一个人的行为取决于其思想、家庭教育、民族背景、文化等多种因素。而后人怎么看待历史呢，近距离接触过的人总会有更清晰的认知，而数代之后，就如同教科书中的文字，变得固化、“正统”。 一个人是否应该背负其家庭和民族所带来的痛苦和耻辱呢，我大概有所理解，或许你可以忽视...  

一部世界史，就是一部人类的战争史！说起战争，国人记忆最深的当属第二次世界大战，这不仅仅是因为国内有八年抗战。更是因为德国纳粹是日本军国主义的同盟。要想了解二战史，离不开德国纳粹史，了解德国纳粹史，绕不开希特勒，更绕不开纳粹党卫军首领希姆莱！ 海因里希·希姆莱...  

一次偶然察觉，身边一些做了妈妈的姐姐们购买药物与生活用品、婴儿用品等都偏爱德国，她们如是说，德国人有种特别的严谨与执拗，很信任他们制造的东西。二战那段历史对于全世界人民都是一段伤痛的历史，在那段历史里，作为侵略者的他们也将偏执发挥到了极致，而战后的德国人似...
