Tell a Friend

Overview:
Growing up in 1950s Connecticut, Daniel Asa Rose always felt alienated from his Jewish roots. Though his mother, a Holocaust survivor, told him stories of the "Not-Sees," these villains seemed as unreal to him as ogres from fairy tale books. Safeguarded by American suburbia, there seemed little need to conjure up horrific stories from the past. Years later, Rose takes his two boys on a journey to reclaim this forgotten history. Arriving in Belgium, with only a tattered diary written by his uncle, they seek out the barns, wine cellars, brothels, and other shadowy places where their relatives hid from the Nazis more than fifty years before. Combining childhood flashbacks, family lore, and absorbing travel adventures, this is a memoir of one man's painful yet triumphant reconnection to his heritage.
