Dogmar Ostermann, a former prisoner at Auschwitz-Birkenau, and ex-Nazi SS physician Hans Wilhelm Munch, talk face to face 50 years after the war. The book's structure follows the events of the Nazi occupation chronologically, adding to the testimonial literature of the Holocaust.

Descendants of Holocaust survivors and perpetrators offer insights into the intergenerational impact of their legacy and the second generation's role in shaping memory of the Shoah. In these personal, and often dramatic pieces, differences surface, but common ground is also revealed.
