When a chance meeting leads me to start uncovering my father's Holocaust story, I discover the fates of his Jewish family, who fled Germany in 1938 when he was only eleven. I learn about the seizure of my grandfather's artbook publishing company; how my great-grandmother met her tragic death; and about the diaspora's impact on mental health in my parents' generation and in my own. Stolpersteine, 'stumbling stones', are memorials to Nazi victims that are set into pavements; life has given me stones to stumble against, too. My first year of life was spent in and out of hospital, as an ill-managed 'rhesus baby'. Then every few years my family moved to another country, in Africa or the Americas. Before I was eighteen, I had attended ten schools, never knowing quite who I was or where I belonged. In this debut memoir, by uncovering my family's 'stumbling stones' and their strengths, I come to understand who I can be.
