"    Niklas Frank and Horst von W\u00E4chter have a\u00A0very unusual friendship. Both in their seventies, the two men share an uncommon heritage: Frank\u2019s father was Hans Frank, Nazi Governor-General of Poland; von W\u00E4chter\u2019s was Otto von W\u00E4chter, Frank\u2019s deputy and Governor of the Galicia District. But it is not this that brings them together: in fact, as David Evans\u2019 fascinating, thought-provoking new documentary shows, it seems likely that, ultimately, it will force them apart.  Frank, whose father was a cold authoritarian convinced for a time that Niklas was illegitimate, has no trouble denouncing his father as a criminal who was rightly hanged after being found guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity at the Nuremberg Trials, the 70th anniversary of which is marked this month. \u201CMy father deserved to die,\u201D he says flatly.  Hans, however, whose childhood was rosier, can\u2019t bring himself to tarnish his memories of his father, calling him \u201Csomebody who wanted to do something good,\u201D seeing him as a decent man forced to carry out the orders of a despicable regime. The pair\u2019s discussions make for fascinating eavesdropping, as they visit sites of Nazi atrocities with human rights lawyer Philippe Sands, whose own family were victims of their fathers\u2019 deeds. Both Sands and an increasingly frustrated Frank want, perhaps need, von W\u00E4chter to accept his father\u2019s guilt. Horst, however, is a quietly stubborn opponent, and the small shift in perspective, when it comes, is perhaps not the one Sands, or indeed one of his subjects, was expecting.
