Hitler’s wife Eva Braun may have had Jewish ancestry:documentary
Nazi leader Adolf Hitler’s wife Eva Braun may have been of Jewish descent according to DNA analysis carried out for a British television documentary, the makers said Saturday.
The anti-Semitic German leader responsible for the Holocaust married his long-term lover Braun shortly before they committed suicide in a Berlin bunker in 1945.
But the programme said hair samples show Braun may have had Jewish ancestry herself.
但這個節目說,頭髮樣本顯示,佈勞恩可能自己就有猶太血統。
Scientists commissioned by the Dead Famous DNA programme tested hair said to have come from a brush used by Braun and found at Hitler’s mountain retreat.
In DNA from the hair, they found a sequence passed down through the maternal line -- haplogroup N1b1 -- which was "strongly associated" with Ashkenazi Jews.
