But Bettina had found that it is difficult to escape your own past, and realized that she, too, had followed false leaders. Only through confronting her family's dark side could she set herself free. Bettina Göring offers a deeply personal glimpse into her family's history and bears courageous witness to dealing with her difficult inheritance.This book exposes the raw nerve of German inherited history—and does so from a personal and lived perspective. It explores how the shadow of a Germany of the past continues to affect the nation and its people today, bringing into focus the fundamental question of meaning for an entire generation.
