Ihre Vergangenheit jedoch hinterlässt bis heute Spuren in den Familien. Geprägt durch eine Katastrophe, die sie nicht selbst erlebt haben, haben viele Nachkommen der Täter, Komplizen, Handlanger, Mitläufer und Opportunisten seelische Wunden, deren Ursachen sie oft nur vage kennen: zwischenmenschliche Kälte, Schuldgefühle, Ängste, Einsamkeit, ein Gefühl der Entwurzelung.
