Narrated by:
Bettina Göring's confrontation with her dark family history and the criminal legacy of her great-uncle, Hermann Göring.
Bettina Göring's name is her legacy. As the great-niece of Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring, she grew up in the shadow of his crimes. Early on, she rebelled against her own family's history and escaped the connection to her uncle and into the world of hippies and free spirits of America.
But Bettina had found that it is difficult to escape your own past, and realized that she, too, had followed false leaders. Only through confronting her family's dark side could she set herself free. Bettina Göring offers a deeply personal glimpse into her family's history and bears courageous witness to dealing with her difficult inheritance.
This book exposes the raw nerve of German inherited history—and does so from a personal and lived perspective. It explores how the shadow of a Germany of the past continues to affect the nation and its people today, bringing into focus the fundamental question of meaning for an entire generation.

“Bettina was not seeking to forgive Göring, but to forgive herself—to finally let go of the darkness with which she had always identified. In doing so, she supported my own unlikely reconciliation with the past.”—Dr. Gabor Maté, author and speaker, sought after for his expertise on trauma, addiction, stress and childhood development, bestselling author of The Myth of Normal
“A courageous and deeply authentic voice Bettina Göring confronts the truth of her family’s dark legacy with honesty and integrity.”—Chanoch Ze'evi, director and producer of Hitler's Children and Bad Nazi Good Nazi
“Bettina Göring's deeply moving account of what it was like to live in the shadow of evil—and the devastating emotional costs—is the biographical equivalent to the Oscar-nominated Zone of Interest. With co-writer Melissa Müller, one of the most gifted chroniclers of a dark era in twentieth-century history, her story of a scarred adolescence and adulthood demonstrates the possibility of reaching beyond a hateful past to embrace a collective future.”—Kirk Ellis, Emmy-winning writer/producer, Anne Frank: The Whole Story, John Adams, and Franklin
