Description

The author’s exploration of his own roots leads him from Lvov-Lemberg to Nuremberg, from the Nuremberg Trials to the present day, for the very concepts of humanity and inhumanity are forever colored by the Holocaust and the verdict pronounced at Nuremberg. And because great history is so closely intertwined with the history of a family, the human element in it is affirmed.
