This is very well written and shows incredible insight into the power of memory, including second hand memories. It is also very well researched and I was fascinated to learn about the impact of the Holocaust in Yugoslavia which, as the author says, is not as well documented as some other countries impacted by the tragedy. The author’s personal connection to the story adds power and conviction to the story they are telling but they do not drift into self indulgence or sentimentality in relating it. A terrific addition to the suite of books which must continue to be shared, read and discussed as we seek to learn from history.
