Albert Günther Göring (9 March 1895 – 20 December 1966) was a German businessman who helped Jews and dissidents survive in Germany during the Second World War while his older brother Hermann Göring was the head of the German ''Luftwaffe'' and a leading member of the Nazi Party. ==Family background== Albert Göring was born on 9 March 1895 in the Berlin suburb of Friedenau. He was the fifth child of the former Reichskommissar to German South-West Africa and German Consul General to Haiti, Heinrich Ernst Göring, and Franziska "Fanny" Tiefenbrunn (1859 — 15 July 1923) who came from a Bavarian peasant family. The Görings were relatives of numerous descendants of the Eberle/Eberlin area in Switzerland and Germany, among them German Counts Zeppelin, including aviation pioneer Ferdinand von Zeppelin; German nationalist art historian Hermann Grimm, author of concept of the German hero as a mover of history that was subsequently embraced by the Nazis; the Swiss historian of art and cultural, political and social thinker Jacob Burckhardt; Swiss diplomat, historian and President of International Red Cross Carl J. Burckhardt; the Merck family, owners of the German pharmaceutical giant Merck; and German Catholic writer and poet Gertrud von Le Fort. The Göring family lived with their children’s aristocratic godfather of Jewish heritage, Ritter Hermann von Epenstein, in his Veldenstein and Mauterndorf castles. Von Epenstein was a prominent physician and acted as a surrogate father to the children as Heinrich Göring was often absent from the family home. Albert was one of five children: his brothers were Hermann Göring and Karl Ernst Göring; his sisters were Olga Therese Sophia and Paula Elisabeth Rosa Göring, the last two of whom being children from his father's first marriage. Von Epenstein began an affair with Franziska Göring about a year before Albert's birth. A strong physical resemblance between von Epenstein and Albert Göring led many people to believe that the two were father and son. If this were true Albert Göring had Jewish paternal ancestry. However, Franziska Göring had accompanied her husband to his post in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, and lived there with him between March 1893 and mid-1894, which casts doubt on this claim. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Albert Göring」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
