A Jewish story of resistance and resilience, of joining in and looking the other way. Against the backdrop of resurgent anti-Semitism, it is a terrifyingly topical story.
The book tells the story of Julius Brumsack, who managed to escape to England in 1939 at the age of 24, returned to his hometown as an English soldier in the spring of 1946 and tried to find out what had happened to his family. A decades-long search for truth and justice begins, he encounters resistance from the population and all the authorities, but he also comes up against his own limits.
The author is Julius Brumsack's daughter-in-law, she knew him from the age of sixteen.
