This week marks the 70th anniversary of the opening of the first Nuremberg Trials.

Niklas Frank's father, Hans Frank, was Hitler's personal lawyer and was tried and sentenced to death by hanging at Nuremberg.

"He wasn't a monster. A monster would excuse him. He was a well-educated German...brought up as a Catholic - so he knew by heart and by brain what is right and what is wrong," Mr Frank told the Today programme.

"He was politically responsible for every dead Jew, every dead Polish, man, wife and child."

Mr Frank features in barrister Philippe Sands' documentary, My Nazi Legacy.
