Out of the unbearable heart of the story - the unclaimed guilt that devours a family through generations - emerges an unflinching will to learn the truth. $b This gripping memoir traces Brazilian-born American Julie Lindahl's journey to uncover her grandparents' roles in the Third Reich as she is driven to understand how and why they became members of Hitler's elite, the SS. Out of the unbearable heart of the story-the unclaimed guilt that devours a family through the generations-emerges an unflinching will to learn the truth. In a remarkable six-year journey through Germany, Poland, Paraguay, and Brazil, Julie uncovers, among many other discoveries, that her grandfather had been a fanatic member of the SS since 1934. During World War II, he was responsible for enslavement and torture and was complicit in the murder of the local population on the large estates he oversaw in occupied Poland. He eventually fled to South America to evade a new wave of war-crimes trials. The pendulum used by Julie's grandmother to divine good from bad and true from false becomes a symbol for the elusiveness of truth and morality, but also for the false securities we cling to when we become unmoored. As Julie delves deeper into the abyss of her family's secret, discovering history anew, one precarious step at a time, the compassion of strangers is a growing force that transforms her world and the way that she sees her family-and herself. 600 10 $a Lindahl, Julie, $d 1967- 600 10 $a Lindahl, Julie, $d 1967- $x Family. 650 0 $a Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) 650 0 $a Grandchildren of war criminals $z Germany $v Biography. 650 0 $a Women $z Sweden $v Biography. 650 7 $a HIS010000 $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY / Europe / General $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY / Modern / 20th Century / Holocaust $2 bisacsh 941 $a 1 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314025412.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=25C6ED62E1C911EE94D662C22BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
