Holocaust Memorial Day: My Nazi Legacy

We're pleased to be working with the B&NES Faith Foundation for this event. Their Patron, Sarah Bevan, will say a few words before the film starts. Sarah is the daughter of a Holocaust Survivor and well known locally for her work in raising awareness of the horrors of 1930's and 1940's Europe.

We'll also be joined by Cllr Karen Walker at this event, the Vice-Chairwoman of Bath & North East Somerset Council.

A poignant, thought-provoking account of friendship and the toll of inherited guilt, My Nazi Legacy explores the relationship between two men, each of whom are the children of very high-ranking Nazi officials and possess starkly contrasting attitudes toward their fathers. Eminent human rights lawyer Philippe Sands investigates the complicated connection between the two, and even delves into the story of his own grandfather who escaped the same town where their fathers carried out mass killings. The three embark on an emotional journey together, as they travel through Europe and converse about the past, examining the sins of their fathers and providing a unique view of the father-son relationship, ultimately coming to some very unexpected and difficult conclusions.
