Born Guilty is based on the book by Austrian Jewish journalist Peter Sichrovsky. "Roth not only adapted Sichrovsky's interviews with children of Nazi's and SS Officers, but he also chronicled the impact of this experience on Peter himself," according to press notes. In The Wolf In Peter (Or My Meeting In The Beer Tent With Jorg), a sequel to Born Guilty, "Roth makes himself a character, experiencing his own journey of self-discovery as he travels to Europe and risks nearly everything to confront Peter for his seemingly inexplicable decision to become a member of Austrian's right-wing Freedom Party and ally himself with its outspoken leader, Jorg Haider."
