The lost : a search for six of six million

by Daniel Mendelsohn

Spurred by a cache of letters from 1939, this search travels across a dozen countries to uncover the fate of six relatives lost during the Holocaust. The investigation concludes in a Ukrainian town, exploring the discrepancies between lived history and family stories.
