My Father's Roses: A Family's Journey from World War I to Treblinka - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Nancy s father was not like other fathers in their northern English town. Elegantly dressed after the Eastern European fashion, an impeccable violin player, and never without a rose in his lapel, her father s entire essence alluded to a hidden and haunting past. Upon his death, Nancy, on a quest to rediscover her family s past, delves into the endless boxes of letters and diaries her father carried when he fled Czechoslovakia in 1939.There were times of joy: a son s return from the trenches of Verdune; the birth of grandchildren; a growing family business. But there was also fear. As the first stormtroopers march into Podersam, Nancy witnesses the disintegration of the family through their increasingly desperate letters. My Father s Roses is a compelling and intimate testament to the persistence of family, memory, and the bonds of kinship in the face of humanity s darkest hour.
