Hitler's Children: Movie Screening and Conversation with Rainer Hoess

Hitler had no children, but what about Goering, Hoess, and Frank? Hitler’s Children is a unique documentary that reveals for the first time, how descendants of Nazi officers from Hitler’s inner circle deal with the burden of carrying a surname equated with terror and genocide. Niklas Frank, son of Hans Frank and godson of Hitler, has spent his adult life vehemently speaking out against his father and the Nazi regime. Bettina Goering, great-­‐niece of Hitler’s second in command, Hermann Goering, lives in voluntary exile in Santa Fe. Together with her brother, Bettina chose to get sterilized so as not to pass on the Goering name or blood. The film will be followed by a discussion and Q&A with Rainer Hoess, grandson of Auschwitz commandant Rudolf Hoess.
