It is an overwhelming and heartbreaking mission that has often usurped her time and energy being a wife to busy surgeon Julius, and a mother and grandmother. But now, just as she is finally ready to pass on her work to others, making time for her personal life, an unexpected phone call suddenly explodes all she thought she knew about her present and her future. In the midst of this personal turmoil, Milia receives an invitation to be the keynote speaker at a Holocaust conference in Lithuania from Dr. Darius Vidas, the free spirited, rebellious conference head. Despite suspecting his motives--she is, after all, viewed as a 'public enemy' in that country for her efforts to have them try war criminals and admit their historic responsibility for annihilating almost their entire Jewish community, including her own family--she nevertheless accepts, having developed a secret agenda of her own. But as Milia and Darius begin their mission, shared experiences profoundly alter their relationship, replacing antagonism and suspicion with a growing intimacy. However, this only ramps up the hostile forces facing them, threatening their families, livelihoods, and reputations, and forcing them into shocking choices that will betray all they have achieved and all that has grown between them"-- $c Provided by publisher. 541 $d 20230919. 650 $a Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) $v Fiction. 650 $a War criminals $v Fiction. 650 $a Nazis $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Novels. 941 $a 2 952 $l DMPC403 $d 20240217010135.0 952 $l KOPC446 $d 20231017011334.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9EC005FA6CB211EE935F82A422ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
