Rainer Höss som var något övertaggad i dokumentären Att heta Göring kommer till Bokmässan

Dock bara ynka 20 minuter.

Rudolf Höss was commandant of the Auschwitz death camp. His grandson Rainer warns of the evil of National Socialism, but also may have tried to make money from his family history. Now he has been found guilty of fraud.

Hans bog Der Vater. Eine Abrechnung (Faderen - et opgør, hedder den danske udgave.) er et langt nådesløst brev adresseret til faren. »Du kan stikke den skyld op i røven,« siger han om farens noget storladne og sentimentale skyldfølelse i sin celle i Nürnberg. Bogen er et personligt opgør med en far, der gjorde karriere i naziregimet.

Niklas Frank, der er født i 1939, havde sin tidligste barndom som naziprins i Polen. På slottet Wawel, der igennem århundreder havde været residens for polske konger, indrettede faren sit hovedkvarter. »Jeg havde en dejlig barndom. Mine minder fra Krakow er rigtig gode. Vi var meget rige, og jeg havde meget legetøj,« fortæller han. »Når vi skulle fra vores andet hjem i Bayern havde vi et privat tog, vi kørte i. Det elskede jeg selvfølgelig.«

AMSTERDAM, Netherlands (AP) _ The Anne Frank Foundation, dedicated to fighting anti-Semitism and racism, has rejected an offer of cooperation from the grandson of a former high- ranking Nazi.

Foundation president Dick Houwaart said Helmut Seyss-Inquart, 30, contacted the organization after visiting the ″World of Anne Frank″ photography exhibit in Austria.

Arthur Seyss-Inquart, an Austrian, was the Netherlands’ Nazi commissioner, the party’s highest civilian official in the country during the Germans’ five- year occupation. He was sentenced to death for war crimes at the Nuremberg trials and executed in 1946.

Linking the names of Seyss-Inquart and Anne Frank, who died in a Nazi concentration camp when she was 15, would be ″indigestible,″ Houwaart said Monday.

Houwaart said the foundation did not question Seyss-Inquart’s sincerity in wanting to help fight racism and anti-Semitism in Austria but opted against any form of cooperation, ″because emotions do not let themselves be overruled by rational considerations.″

″He can do what he wants in Austria without the Anne Frank Foundation,″ Houwaart said, adding that the foundation’s directors decided no one with such a controversial name can work for the foundation as long as survivors of World War II are alive.
