Jennifer Teege, an adopted German-Nigerian woman, made a shocking discovery at age 38 from a library book: her grandfather, Amon Goeth, was a sadistic Nazi war criminal. The commandant of the Plaszow concentration camp in Poland, Goeth was known as the Butcher of Plaszów. She realized he would have killed her if he had met her.
The discovery set Teege on a mission to comprehend her dark family history. She then wrote a book of her own, My Grandfather Would Have Shot Me: A Black Woman Discovers Her Family's Nazi Past.
