Published last year in Germany, this became an immediate sensation. The book documents 14 interviews by Sichrovsky with children (and grandchildren) of Nazi war criminals. Because the perpetrators have shrouded their past in silence, vaguenesses, and lies, their descendants are cut off from any kind of productive dialogue with their parents. The interviews reveal the struggles of a generation caught between fascist family ideals and the realities of a new society committed to democracy. The spontaneous and expressive language of the original comes through very well in the translation. Essential for most libraries. Ulrike S. Rettig, Wellesley Coll., Mass.
Born Guilty
Based on Peter Sichrovsky's book of the same name, Born Guilty is a moving and elegiac play about one man's journey into the hearts of children raised by Nazi parents. As Peter, a Jewish journalist, digs into the past, he faces psychological barriers that threaten to bury the truth forever.
An L.A. Theatre Works full-cast performance featuring Lawrence Grimm, Cammy Kelly, Sam Munoz, Jeremy Piven, Christian Stolte, Becky Wahlstrom, Kate Walsh, Deirdre Waters and Fred Wellisch.
