Goeth was married and divorced twice. His first marriage was to Olga Janauschek in January 1934. They were divorced in July 1936. His second marriage was to Anny Geiger in October 1938, which ended in 1944. Soon after his second marriage ended, Goeth was engaged to Ruth Irene Kalder, (nicknamed "Majola" in the Płaszów camp during her stay in Goeth's "Red Villa"), who had taken Goeth's name shortly after his death. Through these relationships, Goeth had two sons and two daughters. With Olga Janauschek, Goeth had his first child, a boy named Peter, who died seven months after his birth from a diphtheria infection. Goeth had two children with Anny Geiger, a daughter named Ingeborg and a son named Werner. Goeth's last child was a daughter named Monika (chosen mainly from Goeth's childhood nickname, "Mony") whom he had by Ruth Irene Kalder. Monika was born on 23 October 1945.

Famous quotes containing the word family:
“We have a great deal more kindness than is ever spoken. Maugre all the selfishness that chills like east winds the world, the whole human family is bathed with an element of love like a fine ether.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“In the capsule biography by which most of the people knew one another, I was understood to be an Air Force pilot whose family was wealthy and lived in the East, and I even added the detail that I had a broken marriage and drank to get over it.... I sometimes believed what I said and tried to take the cure in the very real sun of Desert D’Or with its cactus, its mountain, and the bright green foliage of its love and its money.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
“My family pride is something inconceivable. I can’t help it. I was born sneering.”
—Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
