Description
The author has also unearthed many other stories: her uncle's heroism and pioneering work in medicine, her grandmother and cousin's miraculous escapes from the holocaust. These are threads entwined in the greater tapestry of social and political history of the twentieth century. In discovering the truth about her family, Martha has also taken an inner journey towards understanding herself.
