This book is written by Niklas Frank, the son of Hans Frank. Hans Frank was a lawyer for the Nazi Party and found himself lording over Poland. He was eventually executed as a Nazi war criminal. Niklas Frank outlines his life as the son of a prominent Nazi official, and goes on what can only be described as a venomous tirade against his father and Nazi ideology. Who can really blame him? I really like the books written by children of Nazis, because it shows an aspect of the war that is often over looked. We read plenty about how people fought in the war, how they survived camps, things that people endured. It is less common to read about the children of these Nazis. I found this extremely interesting and entertaining. I highly recommend this for any World War II reader out there.
