1899

Nestled in the idyllic Nahe wine country of Germany, the Keber family saga begins like any other beautiful fairy tale. But too soon family discord sets in.  Greed, deceit and betrayal ignite rivalries among the three brothers and five sisters of the Keber family that would change the dynasty forever. 

1929

 Their story takes us through the great depression as their suffering through monetary losses leads to a curse put on the entire family by a disgruntled family member. Soon after, in search of a golden future, my Aunt Elisabeth and her new husband Georg Berg arrive in the USA. 

1939 to 1945 

You'll relive World War II as members of the Keber family on both sides of the Atlantic try to survive the persecution and the insanity of the war's bloody hell.

1959

Buying a three story brownstone at 222 East 13th street for $25,000 was a dream fulfilled which sadly would turn into my Aunt's worst nightmare. 

1988

Surrounded by neglect, 222 was now labeled the biggest drug den of the lower East Village. Drugs and corruption had taken over my Aunt's daily life and had robbed her of her dignity. Barely existing in the trash bin of life, she  died like a bag lady. 

1993

Back in Germany, the curse took the same violent path as the final heirs of the Keber family dynasty died penniless. As destruction and mayhem reigned on both sides of the Atlantic, the curse was fulfilled, and the once powerful Keber wine dynasty was lost forever.
