A narrative poem memoir in English with German translation
Across generations stories weave, illuminating the personal effect of good and evil in the world. Deeply emotional, Frischauf brings her family from World War I through the Holocaust, immigration to the US and the birth of her first grandchild. Through the trauma of those lost, we all learn how profound moments that reach across time are for everyone.
