The first time in my research that I found a relative---a first cousin of my paternal grandmother---who died in the camps, it literally turned my stomach and took my breath away. The pain for the first time felt distinctly personal, even though I'd never known this person nor had my father. He also believed he had no relatives left in Germany by 1933. Since then I have discovered so many others---killed or escaped, including your father and his whole family. To me all are victims of the Holocaust, all were scarred in some way. And each time I learn of another relative who was killed, I still feel my stomach turn and my breath catches in my throat.<br /><br />I just finished reading Mischling. It may be one of the most powerful works of Holocaust literature I've ever read.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15720293202890878993noreply@blogger.com
