Note |
This moving memoir by the grandson of Holocaust survivors transports readers from Noah's grandmother's home in Brooklyn to World War II Poland. Together, they explore the memories-of Auschwitz, the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, and the displaced persons camps-that his family had long buried. Their shared journey illuminates the power of never forgetting |
