5. Jennifer Teege’s Shocking Discovery
Jennifer Teege was born in 1970 to a German mother who’d had a brief affair with a Nigerian man. When she was 4 weeks old, she was sent to an orphanage and grew up with limited contact with her biological mother and grandmother. 38 years later, the mixed-race Teege discovered that her biological grandmother had been Amon Goeth’s live-in mistress, her mother Monika was Goethe’s biological daughter, and Jennifer Teege was thus Goethe’s granddaughter. The shock leveled her for weeks, and she spent much of her life since trying to come to terms with the fact that a monster’s blood flowed through her veins – a monster who would probably have cheerfully killed her on racial grounds.
