Summary:
"From a gifted young writer, the story of his quest to reclaim his family’s apartment building in Poland -- and of the astonishing entanglement with
Nazi
treasure
hunters that follows. Menachem Kaiser’s brilliantly told story, woven from improbable events and profound revelations, is set in motion when the author takes up his Holocaust-survivor grandfather’s former battle to reclaim the family’s apartment building in Sosnowiec, Poland. Soon, he is on a circuitous path to encounters with the long-time residents of the building, and with a Polish lawyer known as “The Killer.” A surprise discovery -- that his grandfather’s cousin not only survived the war, but wrote a secret
memoir
while a slave laborer in a vast, secret
Nazi
tunnel complex -- leads to Kaiser being adopted as a virtual celebrity by a band of Silesian
treasure
seekers who revere the
memoir
as the indispensable guidebook to
Nazi
plunder
. Propelled by rich original research, Kaiser immerses readers in profound questions that reach far beyond his personal quest. What does it mean to seize your own legacy? Can reclaimed
property
repair rifts among the living?
Plunder
is both a deeply immersive adventure story and an irreverent, daring interrogation of inheritance -- material, spiritual, familial, and emotional."--Publisher.
