500    Translation of: Amon : mein Grossvater hatte mich 
       erschossen 
520    An international bestseller, this is the extraordinary and
       moving memoir of a woman who learns that her grandfather 
       was Amon Goeth, the brutal Nazi commandant depicted in 
       Schindler's List. When Jennifer Teege, a German-Nigerian 
       woman, happened to pluck a library book from the shelf, 
       she had no idea that her life would be irrevocably 
       altered. Recognising photos of her mother and grandmother 
       in the book, she discovers a horrifying fact: Her 
       grandfather was Amon Goeth, the vicious Nazi commandant 
       chillingly depicted by Ralph Fiennes in Schindler's List -
       a man known and reviled the world over. Although raised in
       an orphanage and eventually adopted, Teege had some 
       contact with her biological mother and grandmother as a 
       child. Yet neither revealed that Teege's grandfather was 
       the Nazi "butcher of Plaszow," executed for crimes against
       humanity in 1946. The more Teege reads about Amon Goeth, 
       the more certain she becomes: If her grandfather had met 
       her-a black woman-he would have killed her. Teege's 
       discovery sends her, at age 38, into a severe depression-
       and on a quest to unearth and fully comprehend her 
       family's haunted history. Her research takes her to Krakow
       - to the sites of the Jewish ghetto her grandfather 
       'cleared' in 1943 and the Plaszow concentration camp he 
       then commanded - and back to Israel, where she herself 
       once attended college, learned fluent Hebrew, and formed 
       lasting friendships. Teege struggles to reconnect with her
       estranged mother Monika, and to accept that her beloved 
       grandmother once lived in luxury as Amon Goeth's mistress 
       at Plaszow. Teege's story is co-written by award-winning 
       journalist Nikola Sellmair, who also contributes a second,
       interwoven narrative that draws on original interviews 
       with Teege's family and friends and adds historical 
       context. Ultimately, Teege's resolute search for the truth
       leads her, step by step, to the possibility of her own 
       liberation
