"My Grandfather Would Have Shot Me" Discussion with Author Jennifer Teege Sponsored by The Rita C. Kimerling Public History Endowment, UAB Department of History, and the Birmingham Holocaust Education Center Live on Zoom. Teege’s mother was German; her father was Nigerian. Unable to raise a newborn child, her single mother placed Teege in a children’s home when she was four weeks old and was then adopted by a white German family at age 7. She learned, from a book, that her biological family’s secret from a book; and that a monstrous man, Amon Göth, reviled for decades as “the butcher of Płaszów,” was her biological grandfather.
