The Lost: The Search for Six of Six Million

Front Cover
Harper Collins, Oct 13, 2009 - History - 688 pages

In this rich and riveting narrative, a writer's search for the truth behind his family's tragic past in World War II becomes a remarkably original epic—part memoir, part reportage, part mystery, and part scholarly detective work—that brilliantly explores the nature of time and memory, family and history.
