Just when one thinks, for a moment, that most Holocaust stories - memories, nightmares and jagged fragments - have been told, one comes upon another: a new picture from a different angle. And it is as horrid, painful, aching and hopeful as others, but it is its own and contains its own beauty, its own tragedy. Thank you, Toni Mehler, for striking deep within me.

A touching story that drills down to the pain and love that people carry with them throughout their lives.
