An anthology in which people that the Holocaust touched second hand reflect on their relationships with their parents, society at large, and the events of the past. They consider the search for roots, inheriting parental trauma, the journey to parents' birthplaces and to death camps, issues of faith and religion, identity and the Yiddish language, confronting a repressed past, and whether dialogue is possible.
