This changed years later, when he found a box with letters that his grandparents had sent from a tragic 1956 trip to Germany and he decided to retrace their journey.This book braids the stories of three generations-grandparents, daughter, and grandson. The grandparents, the lawyer Dr. Hugo Mendel and his wife Lucie, who were respected German citizens until the Nazis took away their livelihood and their dignity. Their daughter, Mirjam, who had fought for years to prove that those who forced her father out of his profession were responsible for his death.
