Shmuel's bridge : following the tracks to Auschwitz with my survivor father / Jason Sommer.
"A memoir recounting the author's trip with his survivor father to Eastern Europe to locate the bridge where his uncle was killed on the way to Auschwitz"-- Provided by publisher.
More than seventy years after arriving in New York from WWII-torn Europe, Jay Sommer was forgetting the stories that defined his life, the life of his family, and the lives of millions of Jews who were affected by Nazi terror. Observing this loss, his son Jason recalls the trip to Eastern Europe the two took together in 2001. As father and son traveled from the town of Jay's birth to the labor camp from which he escaped, and to Auschwitz, where many in his family were lost, the stories Jay had told all his life came alive. This memoir shows the challenges that the children of survivors face in making sense of the impact of history on their families. -- adapted from jacket and Amazon info
