"80 years after experiencing the second world war, witnessing violent events from a very close range, and suffering the violence of his Nazi father at home in Germany, Klaus is now ready to confront his dead father through a written letter about trauma, abuse, and horrifying experiences that shaped the rest of his life."
Only the Forgotten is New started as a small idea of making a documentary about my grandfather's personal and unique trauma as the son of a Nazi during the second world war. I think forgetting is the first step to making the same mistakes again and that is why people have to learn from the trauma
the generations had to go through already.
