Austrian writer Martin Pollack investigates the Nazi past of his father, who died before he could ever know his son. The position the author takes is implicitly this one: we are responsible not for atoning for the sins of others; we are responsible for facing the truth in the present. The distinction, perhaps subtle, is not at all trivial.
