The Lost - A Search for Six of Six Million

Klappentext In this rich and riveting narrative, a writer's search for the truth behind his family's tragic past in World War II becomes a remarkably original epic--part memoir, part reportage, part mystery, and part scholarly detective work--that brilliantly explores the nature of time and memory, family and history. Zusammenfassung Mendelsohn grew up in a family haunted by the disappearance of six relatives during the Holocaust--an unmentionable subject during his childhood. Decades later! he embarked on a hunt for the remaining eyewitnesses of his relatives fates. This is their story.
