Hiding places

a father and his sons retrace their family's escape from the Holocaust

  • 3 Want to read

"In this memoir, part travel narrative, part spiritual quest, Daniel Asa Rose describes the journey in which he and his two young sons retraced their relatives' escape from Antwerp during the Second World War and also embraced, with ample amounts of wit and irreverence, the Jewish heritage that had pained and mystified him.".

"As they wind through the Belgian and French countryside in search of the barn lofts and wine cellars where their relatives once hid, Rose presents reminiscences of the hiding places he himself used as a boy in the WASP town of Rowayton, Connecticut.

He and the boys scout out the family hiding places, including a brothel frequented by Goring and an unknown synagogue in Paris that managed to stay open through the war, until memoir and modern-day quest converge in the shattering conclusion: father and sons are lost amid the faded swastikas of a desolate transit camp in southern France where horrors unfolded half a century before."--BOOK JACKET.
