About - The Inheritance on DVD

INHERITANCE is the story of Monika Hertwig, a soft-spoken woman struggling with a profound legacy left by a father she never really knew.
Monika's father was Amon Goeth. Often described as a "monster," and "inhuman," Goeth was a prominent Nazi leader and commandant of the
Plaszow concentration camp. He murdered thousands of Jews during the war. This DVD includes actual footage of his execution.

The fact that this man was her father is something that Monika still cannot reconcile. Feeling an aching need to come to terms with this legacy of
hatred, Monika reaches out to Helen Jonas, who lived enslaved under Goeth's roof serving as both his maid and prey for nearly two years.
In INHERITANCE, sixty years after Amon Goeth's execution, 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 journey that brings both closure and new questions.
