After the WW2, German solders returned home and kept quiet about their actions. What was the price of this silence? The atrocities committed by the Nazis have been widely discussed at a general level since the Second World War. Less attention has been paid to the fact that the perpetrators of the atrocities have kept quiet about their actions to their own descendants. This wall of silence has descended around the actions that have been done but that have not been handled and talked about within families. The silence has grown these things into problems that will last for generations. The documentary My Nazi Family opens perspectives on the consequences of silence and why the antisemitism is growing again. This is reflected in the true stories of the three German families, where the past and the present meet in surprising ways. The documentary deals with themes of hatred, war and violence and is not recommended for children under 12 years of age Director: Ruut Ahonen Interviewees: Jobst Bittner, Frank Pfeiffer, Caroline Hohnecker, Friedhelm Chmell, Rita Kasimow Brown Length: 45 minutes Languages: English ja German (subtitled English, German, Spanish, French, Russian, Japanese and Finnish) Published: April 2022 Producer: Mika Ahonen Production: Hurttimurtti More information: YOUR DONATION HELPS US TO MAKE MORE DOCUMENTARIES!
