Germany after the Third Reich

© Full Day

Meeting on the occasion of the release of «Dans l'ombre du Reich» by Gitta Sereny, ed. Plein Jour, 2016.

How does a nation recover from its own crimes? In 1945, Gitta Sereny arrives in Germany under the uniform of UNRRA to take care of the "displaced persons" and the stolen children of the Lebensborn.
This dive into a country just emerged from the monstrosity will determine all his work to come: his tireless questioning about the nature of evil.
