=== ''Hitler's Children'' ===
Posner's 1991 book, ''Hitler's Children: Sons and Daughters of Leaders of the Third Reich Talk About Themselves and Their Fathers'', included in-depth interviews with a dozen children of top Nazi officials.  The book was also well received. Karen Stabiner wrote in her review for the ''[[Los Angeles Times]]'', "This is a mesmerizing, blood-chilling book, a set of oral histories of the sons and daughters of 11 of Hitler's top men. It is barely possible to read more than a few pages at a time; the contrast between innocent childhood experience, and the awful understanding of that experience that came with time, is enough to make you weep."<ref>{{cite news| url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1991-05-05-bk-2046-story.html | work=[[Los Angeles Times]] | author=Karen Stabiner | title=Nonfiction | date=May 5, 1991}}</ref>

[[Christopher Lehmann-Haupt]] in ''The New York Times'' questioned whether Posner's book length treatment was necessary to study the children of Nazi perpetrators.  "Perhaps it would have been more enlightening had Mr. Posner studied fewer cases more intensely, or even a single case from the most intimate point of view."<ref>{{cite news| url=https://www.nytimes.com/1991/06/24/books/books-of-the-times-nazis-children-contend-with-their-legacy.html | work=[[The New York Times]] |author=Christopher Lehmann-Haupt |author-link=Christopher Lehmann-Haupt | title=Books of The Times; Nazis' Children Contend with Their Legacy | date=June 24, 1991}}</ref>
