    A Granddaughter's Search for Her Family's Forbidden Nazi Past

    A granddaughter undertakes a years-long investigation into her family’s hidden past, uncovering her grandparents’ deep involvement in the Nazi regime and the atrocities committed in occupied Europe. Traveling through archives and communities across Europe and Latin America, she pieces together a suppressed legacy of complicity, denial, and postwar flight. The narrative blends historical detective work with intimate reckoning, probing how silence and inherited guilt shape identity and how facing the truth can open a path to responsibility and repair.
