Jennifer Teege, a German-born black woman who was given up for adoption as a child, was 38 when she discovered that one of the central characters in the film Schindler’s List, Amon Goeth, was her grandfather. Many viewers recall the figure of Goeth, the brutal commander of the Plaszow concentration camp in Polandplayed in the film by Ralph Fiennesfrom the scenes in which he shoots Jewish inmates from the porch of his home. But Teege, who had not been in touch with either her biological mother or biological grandmother for years, had had no idea about the identity of her grandfather.

The Bnai Zion Foundation and Words of Bonds present a very special event with Jennifer Teege.
