Description

Award-winning writer Erna Paris chronicles her journey over four continents into the shifting terrain of war and memory. Combining gripping storytelling with insight and sharp observation, Paris takes us to places of reckoning – be they courtrooms or concentration camps – and finds hope in the way ordinary people grapple with the conflicts of our time: the aftermath of World War II in Japan, slavery in the U.S., apartheid in South Africa, and the legacy of the Holocaust in Germany and France.
