Summary:
"In 2009,
Rachael
Cerrotti
, a college student pursuing a career in photojournalism, asked her grandmother, Hana, if she could record her story.
Rachael
knew that her grandmother was a Holocaust survivor and the only one in her
family
alive at the end of the war.
Rachael
also knew that she survived because of the kindness of strangers. It wasn't a secret. Hana spoke about her history publicly and regularly. But,
Rachael
wanted to document it as only a granddaughter could. So, that's what they did: Hana talked and
Rachael
wrote. Upon Hana's passing in 2010,
Rachael
discovered an incredible archive of her life. There were preserved albums and hundreds of photographs dating back to the 1920s. There were letters waiting to be translated, journals, diaries, deportation and immigration papers as well as creative writings from various stages of Hana's life.
Rachael
digitized and organized it all, plucking it from the past and placing it into her present. Then, she began retracing her grandmother's story, following her through Central Europe, Scandinavia, and across the United States. She tracked down the descendants of those who helped save her grandmother's life during the war.
Rachael
went in pursuit of her grandmother's memory to explore how the retelling of
family
stories becomes the history itself. [The book] weaves together the stories of these two young women--Hana as a refugee who remains one step ahead of the Nazis at every turn, and
Rachael
, whose insatiable curiosity to touch the past guides her into the lives of countless strangers, bringing her love and tragic loss. Throughout the course of her twenties, Hana's history becomes a guidebook for
Rachael
in how to live a life empowered by grief."--Jacket.
