President Obama’s half-brother has a Jewish mother.
Mark Ndesandjo is the product of Barack Obama Sr.‘s marriage to his third wife, Ruth Nidesand, a Jewish American, the Associated Press reports.
Ndesandjo recently authored a semiautobiographical story, Nairobi to Shenzhen, in which he revealed that his father had a drinking problem and was often physically abusive.
From the LATimes.com:
Ndesandjo was born in Kenya to Barack Obama Sr., the president’s father, and his third wife, Ruth Nidesand, the daughter of Jewish Lithuanian immigrants, the Los Angeles Times reported. The couple later divorced and Ndesandjo moved to the United States, earning degrees in physics from Brown University and Stanford and an MBA from Emory University.
