What's On

My Grandfather Would Have Shot Me

When Jennifer was thirty-eight, on a warm August day she was at the Central Library in Hamburg looking for something on depression. As she was browsing through the shelves, Jennifer noticed a red book titled, "I Have to Love my Father, Don't I?" by Matthias Kessler. Intrigued by the name and color of the book, she removed it from the shelf. On the cover was a middle aged woman named Monika Goeth. She recognised the woman was her birth mother who had given her up for adoption as a seven year old, having had a fling with a Nigerian student. As she browsed through the pages, she began to realize that the monster her mother was writing about was in fact her grandfather, who had been the infamous Nazi commander Amon Goeth , the murderous commandant of the Plaszow labour camp - whose vile deeds are the subject of Shindler's List. Jennifer will tell her remarkable story, her love of Israel, which preceded any knowledge of her biological origins and be interviewed by Professor Stephen Frosh. This astonishing evening comes at the conclusion of our very own Holocaust Memorial Day education programmes for local school children.
