Inheritance - Behind the Scenes with James Moll - POV | PBS

Filmmaker James Moll talks about his film, Inheritance, and how it allowed him to revisit the Holocaust from the perspective of the perpetrators by bringing together two women: Monika, the daughter of Nazi commandant Amon Goeth, and Helen, one of Goeth's victims.

I was finally able to watch this online. I have wanted to watch it for a long time. I cried through the majority of it. I don't think I have ever been so touched. I am not Jewish but I can only imagine how it must've felt to meet the daughter of your perpetrators. Both of these ladies seem like lovely people. It's a shame that Monica had to suffer so much, just in a different way than Helena. Beautiful documentary.

Monika seems such a gentle soul..she has suffered for her fathers sins.. a sadness that has always been within her...*

[@keithwald5349]

Indeed. We do not choose our parents.

Extraordinary documentary!!

[@trueaspect5888]

Must have been a terrifying to Goeth's daughter as she has the same body frame and height as her father. Just seeing Monika in her peripheral vision must have been like seeing him again.

Thank you for this film

[@pavelfickess8146]

Truly a sad documentary as both women were victimized by amon goeth.

Where can I find this documentary film?

[@omgsolikevalleygirl]

the easy way to deal with the Nazis is to say they are evil and make them "the others", and to push it all away and not want to know about it or think about it. But what if they were your parents? One one way of dealing with it is like Rolf Mengele, to never fully acknowledge the guilt and to never fully denounce one's parents - another way is Monika's way, to face survivors and look at what happened together. Incredibly strong and deep, with lots of discoveries. I am still in disbelief that all of this was even remotely possible.. but it happened, and we need to be wakeful every day to understand how we can prevent this from ever happening again.

The documentary "Inheritance" is an incredible story which needs telling the world over but for some obscure reason it is not available outside the US. Quite why I have absolutely no idea. Though the format is NTSC many European dvd players are multi-region so will play this format. It's very frustrating why it seems to have been kept ONLY within the US market. Very odd.

Mettez en sous titre!

In a way, both women were victims of the same vicous man, as Monina seems to struggle with coming to terms with her being the daughter of the most evil man ever to have lived on this planet.

[@jemsmom97]

Not just “in a way”. It more similar than that.

Amon goat not goeth

What an ugly seed he left 😆

AMON GÖTH GÖTH GÖTH !!!! Please learn to pronounce before making the documentary...it isn't hard at all. Americans tend to dismiss proper pronunciations and make and impose on the audience their own sounds !! IRAN, IRAK, NIKE etc. To help, can you in this case pronounce the exclamation DUUH ? Use the same phonetic of UU in the name GÖTH...duuh....guuth guuth duuh guuth duuh...

[@melanielazare9]

Wow who really cares how they pronounce the Devils name. Just stop

[@annstanislaw7437]

I am sure he did not care about the prononciation of the names of people that he turtored and killed. What is wrong with you ?
