Publisher's Synopsis
Niklas was seven years old when his father, Hans Frank, Hitler's lawyer and governor-general of occupied Poland, was executed at Nuremberg as a Nazi war criminal. After years of research, Frank reconstructed his father's life and realized the enormous extent of his crimes. This extraordinary book tells the story of a man struggling to comprehend the unspeakable sins of the previous generation. But where some in Germany's immediate post-war generation wanted to move on and forget, Niklas Franks wants revenge. Bitter and unforgiving, 'The Father' is a devastating settling of accounts; a son's 'hate letter' to his father in Hell.
