(In 1959 the German journalist Norbert Lebert interviewed ...)
In 1959 the German journalist Norbert Lebert interviewed the children of prominent Nazis: Hess, Bormann, Goring, Himmler, Baldur von Schirach (creator of the Hitler Youth), and Hans Frank (governor of Poland). Not knowing what to do with the interviews, he boxed them up and stored them. After Lebert's death, his son Stephan - also a journalist - inherited the files. Fascinated by what he found, he set out to re-interview the same people forty years later. Revisiting his father's subjects, Lebert explores how each of them deals with the agonizing question: What does it mean to have a father who participated in mass murder?

Stephan Lebert was born in 1961. He is a son of Norbert Lebert, a journalist.
Stephan Lebert attended the Deutsche Journalistenschule (the German School of Journalism) in Munich.
Stephan Lebert began his career as a Reporter at Süddeutsche Zeitung and Der Spiegel. In 1999, he joined Berliner Tagesspiegel. In 2007, he founded the German Reporters Forum together with Cordt Schnibben and Ariel Hauptmeier.
Stephan Lebert wrote a book, based on the material collected by his father Norbert Lebert. The book is based on a number of interviews that the senior Lebert conducted forty years earlier with the children of former high-ranking Nazi officials from Germany's Third Reich. After his father's death in 1993, Stephan Lebert found the manuscripts from the 1959 interviews, which originally had been published in 1961 as a series in the magazine Zeitbild. "When I discovered my father's typescript about the Nazi children among other piles of papers in his workroom," he wrote in My Father's Keeper, "it didn't take long for the idea to form: the idea that I would search out these people once more, forty years later, those who were still alive and were willing to meet their former interviewer's son." With the exception of Gudrun Himmler, the daughter of Heinrich Himmler, and Hermann Göring's daughter Edda, everyone agreed to the second round of interviews. Most interviewees felt sympathy for their Nazi fathers and some nostalgia for Germany's Nazi past. Stephan Norbert then juxtaposed his interviews with those his father had conducted to create a book many American literary critics have praised. My Father's Keeper was first published in Germany in 2000. In addition to the interviews, the book also includes twenty black-and-white photographs.
