Join us for our non-fiction book discussion group. This month's title: My Grandfather Would Have Shot Me: A Black Woman Discovers Her Family's Nazi Past by Jennifer Teege.
At age 38, Teege discovered that her grandfather was Amon Goeth, the vicious Nazi commandant depicted in Schindler’s List and reviled as the “butcher of Płaszów.” The discovery sends her into a severe depression - and fills her with questions, including, can evil be inherited? Ultimately, Teege’s search for the truth leads her, step by step, to the possibility of her own liberation.
