Karen Baum Gordon's gripping narrative opens on her father Rudy Baum's attempted suicide in 2002 at the age of eight-six and unfolds in an investigation of generational trauma within her extensive German Jewish family. Gordon grounds her research in eighty-eight letters written mostly by Julie Baum, Rudy's mother and Gordon's grandmother, to Rudy between November 1936 and October 1941. Gordon examines pieces of these worn, handwritten letters and other archival documents in order to recreate the fatal journeys of her grandparents in the camps and ghettos of the Third Reich and trace her father's efforts to save them an ocean away in America. Doing so, Gordon discovers the forgotten fragments of her family's history and a vivid sense of her own Jewish identity"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 10 $a Baum, Rudolph Berthold, 1915-2009. $d 1915-2009. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n2021038553 650 10 $a Baum, Rudolph Berthold, 1915-2009 $d 1915-2009 $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh00005743 $x Family. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh00005743 650 30 $a Baum family. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85012449 650 10 $a United States.
