Weissmark organized a remarkable meeting in 1992, bringing together the grown children of Holocaust survivors and the grown children of Nazis for four days of intense discussion. She quotes members of both groups at length, and to powerful effect, exploring such questions as "Can good people commit heinous acts?" and "Must a survivor's suffering be passed on to children?" For psychoanalytical context she refers in part to Stanley Milgram's obedience studies; for historical context she refers to the post-war trial of Adolph Eichmann. (Jeff B., Reader's Services)
