At the age of 50, Bedfordshire writer Derek Niemann stumbled on a dark skeleton in his family closet. The grandfather who died before he was born had been an SS officer who played an active part in the Holocaust.
Derek speaks about how he came to uncover the story of his Nazi in the family, a tale which resulted in his book A Nazi in the Family, while wife Sarah describes working with more than 500 photographs to bring that story to vivid life.
