The Nazi, the guru and me
Bettina Göring's name is her destiny. As the grandniece of Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring, she grew up in the shadow of his crimes. She rebelled early on and escaped the oppression of her family into the world of hippies and free spirits. But neither in the left-wing commune nor in the ashram can she escape her past. Only by confronting the dark side of her family history can she free herself. In her autobiography, Bettina Göring provides a deeply personal insight into her life and the family structures of the Görings. Her book is a courageous testimony on how to deal with the difficult German legacy - a contribution to the culture of remembrance that is more relevant than ever against the backdrop of current election polls.
