  Inheritance - the story of Monika Hertwig
Posted by: Walt's Daughter - 12-07-2008, 11:20 AM - Forum: TV Shows, Film, Videos - Replies (3)


Just found out about this new documentary, this morning:

 

http://www.allentownproductions.com/projec...ance/index.html

 

Inheritance is the story of Monika Hertwig, a soft-spoken woman grappling with a profound legacy left to her by a father she never really knew.

 

Monika’s father was Amon Goeth.

 

Often described as a “monster” and “inhuman,” Amon Goeth was the prominent Nazi leader and commandant of the Plaszow Concentration Camp. Utterly ruthless and sadistic, he murdered thousands of Jews and others during the war.

 

When Schindler’s List opened in 1993, Monika watched Ralph Fiennes’ chilling portrayal of Amon Goeth. She found this depiction of her father so disturbing that she left the theater more than once.

 

The fact that this man was her father is a brutal reality that Monika didn’t know anything about until her teen years. It is a fact that Monika still cannot reconcile. Feeling an aching need to come to terms with this legacy of evil, Monika reaches out to Helen Jonas, a survivor of the Holocaust. Helen lived enslaved under Goeth’s roof, serving as both his maid and prey for nearly two years.

 

Sixty years after Amon Goeth’s arrest and the liberation of Plaszow, Monika and Helen meet for the first time at what was once Goeth’s luxurious villa overlooking the concentration camp. It’s a brutally honest, gut-wrenching and emotional meeting that brings both closure and new questions for these women.

The Road to Victory Brick Program

 

ORDER BEFORE DECEMBER 31, 2008 FOR A SPRING 2009 INSTALLATION

HONOR YOUR HERO!

 

The National World War II Museum has embarked on a $300 million expansion which, when complete, will more than triple our current size and will present the entire history of the American experience in World War II! (link to expansion info)

 

You can honor your hero with a commemorative personalized brick with up to three lines of copy for only $200 per brick. You may list your name, the name of a WWII veteran or civilian, a military unit or squadron or ship or other branch of the armed forces. It’s up to you!

 

All brick orders received by December 31, 2008 will be installed in the Spring of 2009 along Magazine Street outside the new Victory Theater. And best of all, your brick purchase supports the expansion and construction of The National World War II Museum in New Orleans, Louisiana.

 

Everyone who purchases a brick will receive a commemorative certificate acknowledging you as a Museum supporter (allow 4 – 6 weeks for delivery of the certificate).

 

Our commemorative bricks are ideal holiday or birthday presents. So act now! Time is running out!
