具体描述
Once upon a time the Himmlers were just a normal German family, middle-class, hard-working, well-educated. There were three brothers, Gebhart, Heinrich, and Ernst. Heinrich grew up to become the head of Hitler’s SS, mastermind of the concentration camp system, and chief perpetrator of the Holocaust. When Katrin Himmler, Heinrich’s great-niece, was 15, one of her schoolmates asked during a history lesson if she was related to the Himmler. "Yes," she stammered, at which there was a deathly hush in the classroom and the teacher, embarrassed and unsure, quickly moved the lesson on. As she grew older, Katrin gave her family history a wide berth, but married to an Israeli whose family was confined to the Warsaw Ghetto and with a young, half-Jewish son, she realizes that she cannot evade the past so easily. Katrin Himmler’s cool but meticulous examination of the Himmler story reveals—in all its dark complexity—the gulf between the "normality" of bourgeois family life and the horrors perpetrated by one member and a more nuanced portrait of Heinrich himself emerges—not a lone evil executioner, but a middle-class family man, loved and fully supported by his respectable German family.

之前很少接触到外国历史，看了希姆莱兄弟对二战也有了大致的了解。首先，不说内容，光是作家的身份就值得读者一看。这本历史书属于纪实文学，正如译者所说，查阅资料，收集个人信息，寻访亲历者这三点有机结合，写出来的历史才更真实，能使之活起来。 这本书的写作格式也很新...
昨日深夜，当我翻读完卡特琳·希姆莱《希姆莱兄弟》一书之时，迫切地想写些什么，因为这本书不同于我曾读过的每一本有关纳粹党的书或电影。同时，这书让我产生了重温电影《辛德勒的名单》的想法。今日梦醒，处理完所有的琐事，便找来了《辛德勒的名单》的资源，一个人一台笔记...
一个人最难的便是“克服自己”，那么如果让一个民族“克服过去”呢？这难度恐怕比“克服自己”只高不低。在这方面，德意志民族对二战的反思绝对值得称赞。他们所做的“克服”既包括国家层面出台政策，在教育序列中坦陈真相，也包括每个个体对真相的追求态度。 卡特琳•希姆...
