[Adolf Koppensteiner, Hitler's second cousin] We all hoped they would return one day. But it was not to be. They never came back. Not one message, not one letter. We heard absolutely nothing.

[Narrator] Adolf Koppensteiner was six years old when he lost his parents.

[Adolf Koppensteiner, Hitler's second cousin] To be honest, I'm still scared today. I often feel scared.

[Narrator] Why?

[Adolf Koppensteiner, Hitler's second cousin] Because you never know what might happen.

[Narrator] It's the fear of having to pay for his great-uncle's crimes, sixty years after the war's end.

He left Germany before the war.

In 1939, he and his mother went to New York, and he changed sides.
