Review of Hitler's Children (2011) by Tia L — 24 Jan 2015

Really nice film but to me Hoess' grandchild didn't seem authentic and seemed to be playing it up for the cameras towards the end of the film. Before arriving to the Auschwitz he was very disappointed about what happened in the concentration camps at the hands of his grandfather but upon arrival he seemed happy and thrilled like he was visiting Disneyland, wanting to take a million pictures and re-inact photos of his father's childhood pictures. I guess it's difficult to hold back excitement when you arrive to the place where your father grew up but when that place happens to be the front facade of a death camp, I would expect a different reaction especially when visiting with the grandson of a victim of the holocaust.

I guess anyone can make this mistake of being overly happy at inappropriate moments, but this was my initial reaction to his.
