The Himmler Brothers -- Katrin Himmler

Himmler Brothers: A German Family History

by Katrin Himmler

About this title: Once upon a time the Himmlers were just a normal German family, middle-class, hard-working, well-educated. There were three brothers, Gebhart, Heinrich, and Ernst. Heinrich grew up to become the head of Hitlers SS, mastermind of the concentration camp system, and chief perpetrator of the Holocaust. When Katrin Himmler, Heinrich’;s great-niece, was 15, one of her classmates asked during a history lesson if she was related to the Himmler. "Yes," she stammered, at which there was a deathly hush in the classroom and the teacher, embarrassed and unsure, quickly moved the lesson on. As she grew older, Katrin gave her family history a wide berth, but married to an Israeli whose family was confined to the Warsaw Ghetto and with a young, half-Jewish son, she realised that she could not evade the past so easily. Katrin Himmler’;s cool but meticulous examination of the Himmler story reveals  in all its dark complexity the gulf between the "normality" of bourgeois family life and the horrors perpetrated by one member. A more nuance portrait of Heinrich himself emerges not a lone evil executioner, but a middle-class family man, loved and fully supported by his respectable German family.
