A fascinating, pure ideological regime like that of the Nazis, covering up undiscussable crimes of ordinary men (Browning, 1992), could elicit fantasies in almost any mind, especially when born long after its collapse into a regime which went on silencing and covering up these issues […] As almost every adult was emotionally involved in one way or another in something (fascination, bystanding or evil making) during the Nazi era, it was much more difficult to create a fresh and distinct comprehensive authority which the children could lean on. With the help of such an authority they could perhaps have developed a clear demarcation between those Nazi crimes and other, more ordinary, family life events and secrets.
