Lev Raphael
Dear Librarian, In my new memoir, I hunt for the stories my parents never told me. Who were they before they met in Germany in 1945? What happened to them during W.W. II, and what were their Eastern European lives like before they were swept up in the whirlwind of history? I follow the clues wherever they lead, whether Australia or Paris, consulting archives and documents I never knew existed. At the core of this book is what Germany, in reality and imagination, has meant to me and my family. What I discovered and learned will surprise you—it surprised me. Library Journal gave the book a starred review: "Raphael contributes again to the genre of second-generation Holocaust literature in which he is a pioneer. His poignant memoir....is powerful and captivating to the end." For more about the memoir visit www.levraphael.com.
