'Inheritance'
Anyone who has seen "Schindler's List" is familiar with Amon Goeth through Ralph Fiennes' unsettling portrayal of the murderous concentration camp commandant. Imagine the pain being the daughter of such a man. Director James Moll, an Oscar winner for "The Last Days," profiles Goeth's daughter Monika Hertwig in this moving documentary. Monika -- now a grandmother whose face appears to be permanently marked with sadness -- slowly learned the truth about her father as she grew up, insisting to herself that she was not him. Moll builds the film around Monika's sorrowful meeting with Helen Jonas-Rosenzweig, a survivor of Goeth's wrath.
