`Moving - at times almost unbearably so - and fascinating' Antonia
Fraser A family's story of human tenacity, faith and a race for
survival in the face of unspeakable horror and cruelty perpetrated
by the Nazi regime against the Jewish people. Growing up in the
safety of Britain, Jonathan Wittenberg was deeply aware of his
legacy as the child of refugees from Nazi Germany. Yet, like so
many others there is much he failed to ask while those who could
have answered his questions were still alive. After burying their
aunt Steffi in the ancient Jewish cemetery on the Mount of Olives,
Jonathan, now a rabbi, accompanies his cousin Michal as she begins
to clear the flat in Jerusalem where the family have lived since
fleeing Germany in the 1930s. Inside an old suitcase abandoned on
the balcony they discover a linen bag containing a bundle of
letters left untouched for decades. Jonathan's attention is
immediately captivated as he tries to decipher the faded writing on
the long-forgotten letters. They eventually draw him into a
profound and challenging quest to uncover the painful details of
his father's family's history. Through the wartime correspondence
of his great-grandmother Regina and his grandmother, aunts and
uncles, Jonathan weaves together the strands of an ancient
rabbinical family with the history of Europe during the Second
World War and the unfolding policies of the Nazis, telling the
moving story of a family whose lives are as fragile as the paper on
which they write, but whose faith in God remains steadfast.
