My Nazi Grandfather Would Have Killed Me

Jennifer Teege, the black German woman who discovered her grandfather was the Nazi villain of Schindler's List

Jennifer Teege never knew her real family background. Her father was a Nigerian student in Germany and her mother was a German, but she was given up for adoption. Then, just seven years ago, she discovered by chance a memoir about her biological family. It revealed that her white grandfather - who she never knew - was Amon Goeth, a notorious Nazi commander who was executed for his war crimes and portrayed in the film Schindler's List by Ralph Fiennes.
