Holocaust Heritage Hidden in Plain Sight

"In quiet, lovely prose, Julie Brill has delivered a powerful reminder of why our stories-personal, familial, historical-are so crucial. A moving excavation of a family story." -Menachem Kaiser, author of Plunder: A Memoir of Family Property and Nazi TreasureDiscover a powerful, untold chapter of Holocaust history and a daughter's enduring quest to know the story that began a generation before her birth. From childhood, Julie Brill struggled to understand how her father survived as a young Jewish boy in Belgrade, where Nazis murdered 90 percent of the Jewish population without gas chambers or cattle cars. Through exacting research, a bit of luck, and three emotional trips to Serbia, she pieces together her family's lost past, unearths secrets, and returns to her father a small part of what the Nazis stole: his own family history.
