@PJ Scotland Indeed it was a Cult ,a Wotan Cult ,and they were both victims and VICTIMISERS
@@theonlydjtopcat how exactly does one renounce something "when he/she died"? The act of dying itself doesn't renounce anything, unless you claimed to have immortality or something, then it kinda disproves it, but even then, not quite denounces it. And when you die, there's no possibility of renouncing anything from that point on....
Maybe she doesn't bear the guilt for his actions but something just doesn't seem right about the whole thing. What I really want to know and I don't think she's explaining is are these relatives sorry for what happened or they just saying matter-of-factly it happened and we happen to be related?
Thank goodness. Now we can live on with kosher marks all over everything we eat. The nice bankers no longer have to live in fear. ABC, NBC etc. can go on filling our heads with precious information.
This girl has nothing to be ashamed of. My own father is a peodphile. I'm the total opposite, my children are loved and protected more than any other child I've ever known
My grandfather was a great guy in the pub Everybody liked him.When he got home he was a monster .Smashing things and abusive .My dad is the best man in the world .Always calm and doesn't suffer fools gladly ....I try to be like my dad .The grandfather is just a bad memory .The point is nobody has the right to bring up the foul deeds of ancestors .Very shallow.
My mother was a vicious cruel abusive woman but was loved outside the house and seen as the ‘victim’ in the family. I am absolutely nothing like her. I’m glad I did take the opportunity to tell her too before she left this mortal coil. It gives me great comfort and makes me smile to know that I managed to break that cycle. This has meant I have a glorious relationship with my daughter.

I give her props for stepping up like this. It takes a strong person to live the way she has her entire life because of her great uncle. The greatest part is that she acknowledges what has happened in her family in the past yet does not live for it.
I personally know Katrin Himmler. She is educated, authentic, smart & open-minded person. It takes a lot of courage to admit the wrong doings of her predecesors. She is a pacifist with great moral values. She honestly tries to make this world a better place for everyone. Most of my family was murdered by the nazis. She is one of a kind in today´s world. Read her book "The Himmler brothers".
The Holocaust is sometimes both so difficult and extremely easy to understand. It scares me that, conditions can exist in which we may have been raised to be evil. Your family cannot be replaced. It's impossible to imagine without going insane the magnitude of evil that occurred. I am glad the Jewish and Roma people still exist. But to imagine even what a single Jewish child suffered? I can't really. I don't want to. How can I possibly process the murder of 6000,000 people? I can't. I can only acknowledge it in the abstract. By an accident of history I am not related to tye murders nor to any of the victims.

After all, German war criminals are still alive. There are even young people who practice the cult of Nazism. Why does the Germans say as if the Nazis weren't Germans?

Search for "Katrin Himmler" in Wikipedia. She is a great niece of Heinrich. She was married to an Israeli, by whom she had a son. She wrote the book to educate her son about his Nazi ancestry.
@@copperdog Well, not really. They didn't really know, only the survivors did. The Galaxy knew him as Vader, even the 501st legion was kept in the dark about this.
Its totally unacceptable to blame his family members years after Himmler died. The family knows what he did. Knows he was a monster and does not want to have anything to do with him at all. Respect for this woman
Yes that is somewhat true as most of Himmlers relatives weren’t directly involved in his crimes and many of his relatives like Katrin know what he did and know that he was a monster and acknowledge it and they do not want to have anything to do with him. However there are of course some exceptions. Himmlers parents while not directly involved in their sons crimes did support Naziasm and supported his rise to power. In addition Himmlers wife Margarete was a adamant anti semite just like Henrich and supported Naziasm and while not directly involved in her husbands crimes she likely both knew of it and supported it. In addition Himmlers daughter Gudrun never denounced her father for his role in the Holocaust and continued to defend him and his legacy for the rest of her life even alleging that he was somehow innocent when in reality Himmler was one of the main perpetrators of the Holocaust other than Hitler as it was Himmler who helped build the Nazi concentration camps and extermination camps and he helped cofound the Einsgruptin which was the Nazi killing squads that were responsible for the deaths via shooting of over 2 million people including 1.5 million innocent Jewish people thus making Henrich responsible for the deaths of millions of innocent people. However Henrichs younger brother Ernest who was Katrins grandfather could be argued as aside from Gudrun and Magrate as one of his worst relatives as like Henrich he played a role in the Holocaust as Ernest had directly caused the deportation and death of a innocent engineer named Major Schmidt just because he was Jewish. Due to being a engineer with expertise Schmidt was protected from the Nazis but Ernest wrote a letter to Henrich dismissing his usefulness knowing full well that Schmidt would then be reclassified and sent to one of the camps. Because of that Schmidt was later deported and likely killed which makes Ernest a killer and therefore a horrible person. It is possible that Ernest could have used his relationship with Henrich to protect Schmidt without endangering himself as Albert Goering who was the younger brother of Hermann Goering used his connections with Hermann to help Jewish people and other people who were persecuted by the Nazis thus likely saving many lives. In additional Heinz Hyederich the younger brother of Reinhard Hyederich reportedly found out about the Holocaust via Reinhards documents and then used his connections with Reinhard to help as many Jewish people that he could.
God bless his grand daughter for being willing to look at her family history. this seems very hard and it is clear what a good woman she is. this gives me hope. Jews and Germans together working for healing
An interesting and attractive young lady. I would love to hear more about her experiences and thoughts. However, it is only a family name. It does not control us, we control it. Our actions dictate how the family will be remembered. Perhaps her son, no matter what name he may have, could show people that the person is in charge of his fate, not the actions of the forefathers.
Yes, she looks like Hiney. Fortunately, she was able to get married, have a man child, and give him her husband’s family name. It’s not because of her face that she got married, it’s the titties.
Oh my! YES!! So much resemblance! I’m sure she doesn’t like that.... Goerings great niece, Bettina Goering, looks so much like him. It’s eerie. She had herself sterilized.
Perzonne there are plenty of people with the name mengele in Germany . In fact that family owns a company by the same name . Josef Mengeles son still carries the same . His family actively helped him escape to Argentina and the son visited him there . He came to Germany too . Yet this notorious war criminal was not caught and tried for his crimes . He went by another name for a while and then he wrote to the German embassy in argentine for a passport under his own name and was granted it . Yet they never reported him ! Or should we say they turned the other way or were complicit .
+Dongky SP Main motivations are likely political establishment approval, and general social approval otherwise. They're severely mind-managed there, of course.
***** Why aren't they on the video then? Why? Because you are either a liar or you don't know what you are talking about. They only had one child, a daughter.
As far as I know, Katrin Himmler is the granddaughter of Ernst Himmler, Heinrich Himmler's younger brother. She is also the author of "The Himmler Brothers: A German Family History." In my view, she has tried very hard to be interesting about her family members and their legacy. I'm not sure I have the right to ask for more than that.
It is appalling to be reading this comments section in 2016 and to see that, after all this time's passage, people still hate upon the basis of trivialities. We have not learned a single damned thing and thusly drift towards calamity rivaled only by what our ancestors fought for and against. For shame, people.
"In 2016" - IT'S THE CURRENT YEAR EVERYBODY!! OH MY GOD IT'S 2016!! WOW SUCH PROGRESSIVISM!! MUCH POLITICALLY CORRECT!! SUCH HIPSTER!! WOW!!! IT'S THE CURRENT YEAR YOU GUYS!!!
Yes, youtube has begun to have many more users who openly hate different groups of people or sympathize to Nazis in comment sections such as one under this video.
Right, just ask the ghosts of the +100 million who died in those lies...! (My great Uncle is still MIA as a tail gunner on a B-17 mission over France). You're an Imbecile! Even Polonium-Dioxin-BAK-Novichek & Mustard Gas putin would tell you that you're wrong...
she is amasing. Intellectually and lucidly, so fluently speaks at an incredible level, about the very special experience of his traumatic identity. I really respect
Seeing her makes it unfathomable that such a horrific time was not that long ago. I get her not wanting to change her name, but you have to be a pretty bad person when your name is retired from society
It must be a terrible burden to carry the Himmler name, but it is hard to believe that family members are seen as sharing any guilt because of what their father or grandfather did.
She had nothing to do with any of it , she and her family has had to live with the past more then most of us will ever have to, what a legacy to live with.
I think God is already blessing Germans....with African and Middle East migrants.....the world need to melt and blend.. all races and nations...that's the only way to dilute hate, pride, nationalism, and greed ...

Regina Learn history! My German mother was born in Vezprem Hungary in 1895 but then it was knows as Austria under Emperor Franz Joseph and populated by Schwab Deutch Germans
My dad was a teacher in rome and happened to be teaching the great grandson of Benedito Mussolini... apparently whilst teaching world war 2 the poor kid said "I think my grandad or grandma had something to do with the war" "He was the war" my dad responded
***** Uh I know that. Get your history facts revised because if I didn't kill myself I'd have to sell all of our recipe secrets to those terrible British cooks. And I'm the coward when it comes to killing chicken just so you know. #tryhards
Heinrich Himmler Hey Heinrich, give my regards to Adolf, Hermann, Josef (Goebbels, not Stalin) and Reinhardt. And tell Martin to stop looking at Eva like that!
To those who don't understand her reasoning, remember that over several billion people, the world over, heard of her ancestor, and know of his crimes, even vaguely. This will make her German identity seem less deserved, and almost humiliating, as if her family was a let down to humanity. Social networking, and friendships, would expectedly be a good deal harder on her.
I have a German last name and I always get looks from people and it’s not even a familiar one either,I’m never embarrassed or ashamed I am actually quite proud of it,it’s my fathers and I’m proud of being German,no one is responsible for their family members actions,unless the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree!,Rip dad💞✝️😘🙏🏻💞✝️🙏🏻🙏🏻😘
Depends on the country really, but I’ve noticed that as well; Wife kept her last name and when traveling in the ex eastern bloc, certain parts of Italy, is notice that’s she’d get looks, but where we live im America, half the people you meet have a German last name
You cannot be held accountable for the sins of your father or grandfather. We were not there there is no way we can judge their heart only their actions. No reason to destroy your birth name. Be a proud German!
She is a brave woman to talk about her sad ties to a monster. In all honesty, if most of us trace our ancestors I suspect we would find monsters as well
What a horrendous burden to have to live with. The thought of your own flesh and bloody, your private family, were instrumental in some of the most brutal, horrific, murderous acts and genocide and played a big part in a war which killed 50 mill plus and changed the world forever. Its the shame of being linked to it which you can see in her body language and spoken language that still battles with her conscience.
+winchuni22 I am decendant of someone who did terrible things in world war 2, my entire family was full of nazi supporters back then. (and now as well) It does not make you ashamed (I did not do it), it makes you wonder what went through their mind to commit such atrocities.
A few observations: We are not our grandparents. In reality, we barely know who they were when they were young. Times change, people change. If anyone could go back far enough, there would be a tyrant in your past. There are lots of people claiming this and that about whether she should be ashamed or not. I don't have an opinion one way or the other. You can't help who brought you in the world. Finally, she does have beautiful blue eyes.
Katrin seems like a nice lady i hope no one is giving her crap about her family name we know what that guy did but that does not reflect who Katrin is, can you imagine someone giving you crap about something in your family did before you were even born?
Great, intelligent lady and her book is a cracking good read. I don't anyone will ever understand what went on in Himmler's mind, but whether she likes it or not he was her great-uncle and I think she copes wonderfully!
Yeah I kind of agree with you, as much of a sick sadistic bastard Himmler was, it would be (oddly) cool to have a relative In your family who will forever go down in history etc.
We marvel at her because she disrupts our comfortable ideology that people who do horrible things are different than us. This lady knows different, they are not monsters but people like you and I, who might have made similar choices. This is far more frightening.
I think she's quite pretty actually and she's doing a great thing by showing the truth of her family and not hiding away, pretending nothing happend. Respect to her.
I admire her gut for talking and showing her face in public. Also the fact that she doesn't change her name (many Nazi's children & grandchildren do), means she wants to face the fact, doesn't give false facade to others. She is an honest person. On the other hand, she despise what Nazi did. She doesn't want that to do with that evil in her life.
Anyone with the name Manson, Gacey, or Dohmer I'm sure have been ask the number one question, "Are you related?" I was stationed in Northern Bavaria for a couple years in the mid-eighties. While there I noticed a certain unapologetic quality to the German pysche. Too understand what Germans went through in the twentieth century one would have certainly had to live in Duetschland and been 100% german to appreciate it. There were absolute highs and devastating lows. They went from almost ruling the world to being split in half and being ruled by two different ideologies for over four decades. The lives and legacies of german influence destroyed during WWI and WWII are too numerous to properly disclose. The holocaust was probably the greatest of many grave errors committed by der Deutsche volk during that turmoil that engulf the century. Germany went to the top then the bottom, back to the top and then the total bottom and now economically, politically and socially back up on top! Duetschland uber Alles........

my god she really looks like him around the cheeks and eyes! but of COURSE this woman, and none of them still alive are to blame for anyone elses mistakes. they were babies. they had no clue what was going on
Katrin need not talk about the senior and famous Himmler...anyone who wants to know about him can read up about him...he is mostly forgotten...and as the Germans say...things have changed for the better...
Generational demons stay in the family. Shame and guilt never cease. No one is innocent or even good. We all have failed Gods standard, That is why this Lady can feel the burden. Blood is family and life. You can’t escape your family ties. Only Christ can set her free.
The international bankers dominated the conference which culminated in the Treaty of Versailles. This is proved by the fact that in January 1919 Mr. Paul Warburg (who drafted the Federal Reserve System in the U.S.A.), arrived in Paris to head the American delegation. His brother Max arrived to head the German delegation. Comte de St. Aulaire says : “Those who look for the truth elsewhere than in the official documents know that President Wilson, whose election had been financed by the Great Bank of New York (Kuhn-Loeb & Co.) rendered almost complete obedience to its beck and call.”
it must be horrible burden carrying a historical family name. brave of her to be interviewed and share her thoughts and point of view. You can choose your friends but not your family

In addition Himmlers daughter Gudrun never denounced her father for his role in the Holocaust and continued to defend him and his legacy for the rest of her life even alleging that he was somehow innocent when in reality Himmler was one of the main perpetrators of the Holocaust other than Hitler as it was Himmler who helped build the Nazi concentration camps and extermination camps and he helped cofound the Einsgruptin which was the Nazi killing squads that were responsible for the deaths via shooting of over 2 million people including 1.5 million innocent Jewish people thus making Henrich responsible for the deaths of millions of innocent people. However Henrichs younger brother Ernest who was Katrins grandfather could be argued as aside from Gudrun and Magrate as one of his worst relatives as like Henrich he played a role in the Holocaust as Ernest had directly caused the deportation and death of a innocent engineer named Major Schmidt just because he was Jewish. Due to being a engineer with expertise Schmidt was protected from the Nazis but Ernest wrote a letter to Henrich dismissing his usefulness knowing full well that Schmidt would then be reclassified and sent to one of the camps. Because of that Schmidt was later deported and likely killed which makes Ernest a killer and therefore a horrible person. It is possible that Ernest could have used his relationship with Henrich to protect Schmidt without endangering himself as Albert Goering who was the younger brother of Hermann Goering used his connections with Hermann to help Jewish people and other people who were persecuted by the Nazis thus likely saving many lives. In additional Heinz Hyederich the younger brother of Reinhard Hyederich reportedly found out about the Holocaust via Reinhards documents and then used his connections with Reinhard to help as many Jewish people that he could.
God bless his grand daughter for being willing to look at her family history. this seems very hard and it is clear what a good woman she is. this gives me hope. Jews and Germans together working for healing
No
Yes!
Easy to say, when your people weren’t persecuted.
An interesting and attractive young lady. I would love to hear more about her experiences and thoughts. However, it is only a family name. It does not control us, we control it. Our actions dictate how the family will be remembered. Perhaps her son, no matter what name he may have, could show people that the person is in charge of his fate, not the actions of the forefathers.
Hmmmmn? Not attractive in the least, but brave and respectable
@@oaesan I think she's kinda cute. Sorry to hear she threatens you.
@@michaelbruvolt4221 The German language can sound very nice.
Nothing pisses me off more than self hating people.
What a completely idiotic thing to say. So if a person hates themselves for whatever reason then you get annoyed and angry? OK WELL DONE MORON!
@@decimustv4257 nope, hating themselves for the things they didn't done. Well done moron!
does anybody care? No
You should try to feel sympathy for them, instead of that
I care, lol
she looks like Himmler too
Yes, she looks like Hiney. Fortunately, she was able to get married, have a man child, and give him her husband’s family name. It’s not because of her face that she got married, it’s the titties.

"To destroy Ewil once and forever", Katrin Himmler, 2012.
Not your fault, Katrin. We can't choose the family we are born in...
Thank you for opening up on this video......ich hab' alles verstanden, und schreibe ich mit Tränen in mienen Augen! Vielen Dank Katrin!
She really looks like her uncle. Yet she appears to be so sweet and gentle.
Respect to this woman's courage.
I would embrace the last name and be proud of my German heritage..
Wow! You certainly can see a resemblance.
Thank you for noticing that. I just made a comment how she inherited his facial looks.
Oh my! YES!!
So much resemblance! I’m sure she doesn’t like that....
Goerings great niece, Bettina Goering, looks so much like him. It’s eerie. She had herself sterilized.
I wonder what the children of Reinhard Heydrich have to say about their father.
Imagine walking around being "Mengele"
Perzonne there are plenty of people with the name mengele in Germany . In fact that family owns a company by the same name . Josef Mengeles son still carries the same . His family actively helped him escape to Argentina and the son visited him there . He came to Germany too . Yet this notorious war criminal was not caught and tried for his crimes . He went by another name for a while and then he wrote to the German embassy in argentine for a passport under his own name and was granted it . Yet they never reported him ! Or should we say they turned the other way or were complicit .
@Holy Prussian Crusader Silke Heydrich born in 1939 became a model. Another daughter, Marte born in 1942.
How much was she getting paid for this? By who?
+Dongky SP Main motivations are likely political establishment approval, and general social approval otherwise. They're severely mind-managed there, of course.
I bet she wears a yamaka at home.
Dongky SP Stfu ducking with Nazi
Believe me. In Germany people are very ashamed (or they muss appear like this to the others) when they are related to any war veterans...
Quite sad isnt it Degeneration? Sie waren die besten Soldaten der Welt.
They couldn't get his daughter to denounce him so they got his 3rd cousin. Lol
***** Which ones?
***** Why aren't they on the video then? Why? Because you are either a liar or you don't know what you are talking about. They only had one child, a daughter.
FOLKFIDDLER14 No they didn't.
As far as I know, Katrin Himmler is the granddaughter of Ernst Himmler, Heinrich Himmler's younger brother. She is also the author of "The Himmler Brothers: A German Family History." In my view, she has tried very hard to be interesting about her family members and their legacy. I'm not sure I have the right to ask for more than that.
@Jack Dorsen Thanks for your response. Yes, Gudrun (Himmler) Burwitz was a nasty piece of work.
It is appalling to be reading this comments section in 2016 and to see that, after all this time's passage, people still hate upon the basis of trivialities. We have not learned a single damned thing and thusly drift towards calamity rivaled only by what our ancestors fought for and against. For shame, people.
"In 2016" - IT'S THE CURRENT YEAR EVERYBODY!! OH MY GOD IT'S 2016!! WOW SUCH PROGRESSIVISM!! MUCH POLITICALLY CORRECT!! SUCH HIPSTER!! WOW!!! IT'S THE CURRENT YEAR YOU GUYS!!!
Which is as it should be. In many parts of Europe even expressing any admiration for the 3rd Reich is a felony, much less anti-semitism.
Yes, youtube has begun to have many more users who openly hate different groups of people or sympathize to Nazis in comment sections such as one under this video.
wcatholic1 Good, it should be a felony and they should arrest you.
Right, just ask the ghosts of the +100 million who died in those lies...! (My great Uncle is still MIA as a tail gunner on a B-17 mission over France). You're an Imbecile! Even Polonium-Dioxin-BAK-Novichek & Mustard Gas putin would tell you that you're wrong...
she is amasing.
Intellectually and lucidly, so fluently speaks at an incredible level, about the very special experience of his traumatic identity. I really respect
Seeing her makes it unfathomable that such a horrific time was not that long ago. I get her not wanting to change her name, but you have to be a pretty bad person when your name is retired from society
Takes guts to do what she does. Hat off for that
And What about japanese war crimes? And not to forget the Soviet War crimes? Germany is an awesome country
You can't choose your family. She seems like a very nice young lady.
It must be a terrible burden to carry the Himmler name, but it is hard to believe that family members are seen as sharing any guilt because of what their father or grandfather did.
She had nothing to do with any of it , she and her family has had to live with the past more then most of us will ever have to, what a legacy to live with.
god bless germany and the germans
To many Arabs 😝
I think God is already blessing Germans....with African and Middle East migrants.....the world need to melt and blend.. all races and nations...that's the only way to dilute hate, pride, nationalism, and greed ...

+jan jansen I was actually reffering to the 'VIP' comment. Although I wouldn't call that a 'cool' name..
+Big Andre' maybe you should have an eye for humans. I doubt you would think like that if your family was murdered
You mean the jews, Lenin and Stalin
Heinrichs daughter was literally arrested because of his actions
All of us have some very bad people somewhere in our family tree.
Himmler was from Germany not from Austria
I don't give a fuck where I come from
Regina
Learn history! My German mother was born in Vezprem Hungary in 1895 but then it was knows as Austria under Emperor Franz Joseph and populated by Schwab Deutch Germans
Himmler was Bavarian which is sort of halfway between German and Austrian.
@Regina Juen Hitler also lived in Passau as a youth before going to high school in Linz, he had a Lower Bavarian rather than Austrian accent.
who cares Austrians are Germans anyways
My dad was a teacher in rome and happened to be teaching the great grandson of Benedito Mussolini... apparently whilst teaching world war 2 the poor kid said "I think my grandad or grandma had something to do with the war"
"He was the war" my dad responded
What kind of kin...how dare she call me the culmination of all evil??? If making chicken is *that* bad they should've told me...
***** Uh I know that. Get your history facts revised because if I didn't kill myself I'd have to sell all of our recipe secrets to those terrible British cooks. And I'm the coward when it comes to killing chicken just so you know. #tryhards
Keeping chickens is a foul profession!
Heinrich Himmler
Hey Heinrich, give my regards to Adolf, Hermann, Josef (Goebbels, not Stalin) and Reinhardt. And tell Martin to stop looking at Eva like that!
***** How's it going?
*****
Yeah LOL!
To those who don't understand her reasoning, remember that over several billion people, the world over, heard of her ancestor, and know of his crimes, even vaguely. This will make her German identity seem less deserved, and almost humiliating, as if her family was a let down to humanity. Social networking, and friendships, would expectedly be a good deal harder on her.
she had nothing to do with...Heinrich was a murderer whom deserved to die horribly....let this one live in peace.

I have a German last name and I always get looks from people and it’s not even a familiar one either,I’m never embarrassed or ashamed I am actually quite proud of it,it’s my fathers and I’m proud of being German,no one is responsible for their family members actions,unless the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree!,Rip dad💞✝️😘🙏🏻💞✝️🙏🏻🙏🏻😘
Depends on the country really, but I’ve noticed that as well; Wife kept her last name and when traveling in the ex eastern bloc, certain parts of Italy, is notice that’s she’d get looks, but where we live im America, half the people you meet have a German last name
Many of these comments are appalling and suggestive of the vile side of human nature...
yes. She has no pride. She like to be infrot off camera say bad thing abot Hienrich HImmler
You cannot be held accountable for the sins of your father or grandfather. We were not there there is no way we can judge their heart only their actions. No reason to destroy your birth name. Be a proud German!
Germany went completely insane back then.
She is a brave woman to talk about her sad ties to a monster. In all honesty, if most of us trace our ancestors I suspect we would find monsters as well
What a horrendous burden to have to live with. The thought of your own flesh and bloody, your private family, were instrumental in some of the most brutal, horrific, murderous acts and genocide and played a big part in a war which killed 50 mill plus and changed the world forever. Its the shame of being linked to it which you can see in her body language and spoken language that still battles with her conscience.
+winchuni22 I am decendant of someone who did terrible things in world war 2, my entire family was full of nazi supporters back then. (and now as well) It does not make you ashamed (I did not do it), it makes you wonder what went through their mind to commit such atrocities.
A few observations: We are not our grandparents. In reality, we barely know who they were when they were young. Times change, people change. If anyone could go back far enough, there would be a tyrant in your past. There are lots of people claiming this and that about whether she should be ashamed or not. I don't have an opinion one way or the other. You can't help who brought you in the world. Finally, she does have beautiful blue eyes.
You should not carry the guilt for that monster
that hero*
*monster
*master of Fegelein
Katrin seems like a nice lady i hope no one is giving her crap about her family name we know what that guy did but that does not reflect who Katrin is, can you imagine someone giving you crap about something in your family did before you were even born?
she is too affected by sense of guilt to be objective. infact she married an israeli man...
She has been brainwashed by the ideology of collective white guilt.
FOLKFIDDLER14 realization that her family is responsible for exterminating millions you mean?
SyncKo : it is not a lie!...So you are calling my grandfather a liar!?...He was in it!...saw it!....On what basis can you just eliminate history!?
'...she married an iraeli man.' She probably has the last laugh on that one, Pino. The jew has the money ~
shes guilty
Great, intelligent lady and her book is a cracking good read. I don't anyone will ever understand what went on in Himmler's mind, but whether she likes it or not he was her great-uncle and I think she copes wonderfully!
Well said. We humans love using scapegoats to escape blame, so that instead of co-conspirators we can claim to be victims as well.
Use her name for good, instead of evil, like her name was used before. I admire her courage to face the past, even though she was not a part of it.
It would be awesome to be related to anyone who will live on in history.
Yeah I kind of agree with you, as much of a sick sadistic bastard Himmler was, it would be (oddly) cool to have a relative In your family who will forever go down in history etc.
I don't know... would you want to be related to someone like Jeffrey Dahmer or Ted Bundy? 😳
@@alanhigh8125 yeah, I would In a way. But not like a brother, maybe an Uncle haha. It's such an odd topic I know 😂🤦
We marvel at her because she disrupts our comfortable ideology that people who do horrible things are different than us. This lady knows different, they are not monsters but people like you and I, who might have made similar choices. This is far more frightening.
I think she's quite pretty actually and she's doing a great thing by showing the truth of her family and not hiding away, pretending nothing happend. Respect to her.
This woman simply sulking in his grand father's misdeed and making acknowledgement of Grand father's crime.
Miss I wish you well....you seem to be a decent human being.
I admire her gut for talking and showing her face in public. Also the fact that she doesn't change her name (many Nazi's children & grandchildren do), means she wants to face the fact, doesn't give false facade to others. She is an honest person. On the other hand, she despise what Nazi did. She doesn't want that to do with that evil in her life.
This has got to be one of the saddest things to watch. She knows not her own family history, nor the history of the actual events of her own land.
Anyone with the name Manson, Gacey, or Dohmer I'm sure have been ask the number one question, "Are you related?" I was stationed in Northern Bavaria for a couple years in the mid-eighties. While there I noticed a certain unapologetic quality to the German pysche. Too understand what Germans went through in the twentieth century one would have certainly had to live in Duetschland and been 100% german to appreciate it. There were absolute highs and devastating lows. They went from almost ruling the world to being split in half and being ruled by two different ideologies for over four decades. The lives and legacies of german influence destroyed during WWI and WWII are too numerous to properly disclose. The holocaust was probably the greatest of many grave errors committed by der Deutsche volk during that turmoil that engulf the century. Germany went to the top then the bottom, back to the top and then the total bottom and now economically, politically and socially back up on top! Duetschland uber Alles........
It's amazing how much she looks like Heinrich. Wow.

Hallo vriende ☆
Os poloneses na época , mantinham campos de concentração na polonia . É sabido pelo serviço de inteligência dos nasdap que eles, os poloneses mandaram executar alemães que moravam na polonia na época . Foram executados nesse campo 250.000 famílias de alemães que moravam na polonia . Fato este que O fuhrer mandou invadir a polonia na época e deram o revide . A alemanha na época tinha líderes verdadeiros que sabiam defender a alemanha e o povo europeu como nunca . Não fale mal de seu pai o líder Himmler que foi um defensor dos alemães e do povo europeu como nunca . Saudades desses oficiais de honra e heroi europeu . Um abraço Katrin tenha orgulho de seu pai . Um abraço fraterno a ti e de toda a sua família . Bigliazzi celso .

I like her stance. I think she's a decent honourable person, and unlike a lot of the twits below I've lived into old age and trust my instincts, rather than some political doggerel.
my god she really looks like him around the cheeks and eyes! but of COURSE this woman, and none of them still alive are to blame for anyone elses mistakes. they were babies. they had no clue what was going on
I noticed that as well. However, Himmler himself was kind of upsetting to look at, but this those facial features work on this lady
It wasnt a crime she shouldnt be ashamed
Poor woman. That really is a terrible cross to bear. I think I would have changed my surname.
Katrin need not talk about the senior and famous Himmler...anyone who wants to know about him can read up about him...he is mostly forgotten...and as the Germans say...things have changed for the better...
i wish i was himmlers relative i would keep the tradition goin like i kept the confederate one from my ancestors
Wtf
Cringe and unbased
based as hell
Generational demons stay in the family.
Shame and guilt never cease.

That is why this Lady can feel the burden. Blood is family and life. You can’t escape your family ties.
Only Christ can set her free.
The international bankers dominated the conference which culminated in the Treaty of Versailles. This is proved by the fact that in January 1919 Mr. Paul Warburg (who drafted the Federal Reserve System in the U.S.A.), arrived in Paris to head the American delegation. His brother Max arrived to head the German delegation. Comte de St. Aulaire says : “Those who look for the truth elsewhere than in the official documents know that President Wilson, whose election had been financed by the Great Bank of New York (Kuhn-Loeb & Co.) rendered almost complete obedience to its beck and call.”
She seems honest and sincere
