Helpful Score: 1

This is an incredible book. It is a memoir of the author's search to find out what happened to his great-uncle's family during the Holocaust - all the family knew was that they had been 'killed by the Nazis'. At the start of the book you are skeptical, frankly, that anything can be found out about just six of six million. And then little discovery by little discovery, the author draws you in until you almost feel like you are on the search with him. This book is a master class in how to do your family history research properly! That aside, it is also a beautifully written and incredibly moving story of a family and how family ties and tensions affect us all.
