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 on April 5.
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.
The program said hair samples show Braun may have had Jewish ancestry herself.

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.

英國一部電視紀錄片製作人四月五日說，根據為這部紀錄片所做的DNA檢測，納粹領導人希特勒的妻子愛娃．布勞恩可能有猶太血統。
這位反猶太的德國領袖要為大屠殺負責，他一九四五年迎娶相戀多年的布勞恩，沒多久後，兩人在柏林的碉堡內自殺。
但這個節目說，頭髮樣本顯示，布勞恩可能自己就有猶太血統。
受「已故名人DNA」節目委託的科學家，從據說來自布勞恩用過、在希特勒山區寓所發現的梳子上取得頭髮樣本進行測試。
他們在這根頭髮的DNA中，發現從母系遺傳的序列haplogroup N1b1 ，這與阿什肯納茲猶太人「強烈有關」。
