Three men travel together across Europe. For two of them the journey involves a confrontation with the acts of their fathers, who were both senior Nazi officers. For the third, the eminent human rights lawyer and author Philippe Sands, it means visiting the place where much of his own Jewish family was destroyed by the fathers of the two men he has come to know. It is an emotional, psychological exploration of three men wrestling with their past, the present of Europe - and conflicting versions of the truth.
Leave your thoughts about What Our Fathers Did: A Nazi Legacy.
| GuardianPeter BradshawIt entirely upends what I confess were my own preconceptions about what such a film would be: that is, a placid, consensual study, ruefully brooding on the sins of the fathers. This is far more challenging - and more disturbing. |
| San Francisco ChronicleLeba HertzWhat starts out as a genial documentary about two sons of high officials of the Nazi Party soon turns chilling in the gripping and compelling "What Our Fathers Did: A Nazi Legacy." |
| SF WeeklySherilyn ConnellyMost troublingly, images of Nazis in modern Ukraine in What Our Fathers Did: A Nazi Legacy suggests that not being able to acknowledge that history paves the way for it to happen again. |
| RogerEbert.comNick AllenWhat Our Fathers Did: A Nazi Legacy wields a power that towers above many other small movies. It may not be the large definition of cinematic, but it is still a true film. |
| New York TimesKen JaworowskiWhile these men aren’t accountable for the actions of their fathers, they are obligated to recognize the truth of what happened. To see one of them deny that truth is difficult to watch, and just as hard to look away from. |
| AV ClubNoel MurrayThere’s a rigidity of purpose here that keeps A Nazi Legacy from ever becoming startling or revelatory. |
| EmpireNev PierceSands has his own personal link to the Holocaust, revealed over time, and My Nazi Legacy becomes horribly gripping. |
| Screen InternationalFionnuala HalliganA Nazi Legacy – What Our Fathers Did comes to a climax in Lviv, but the film is a layered examination of brutality, self-deception, guilt and the nature of justice which is compelling throughout. |
| Village VoiceDiana ClarkeDespite a melodramatic title, the film is keen and measured. Drama builds in the small moments. |
| The PlaylistGary GarrisonFrom the outset, What Our Fathers Did doesn’t have much narrative thrust. The film makes it clear that it is more interested in the process than any end goal. But the process of what exactly is a question that gnaws unanswered for the first third of the documentary. |
