"The Holocaust has hovered on the periphery of the American imagination for so many decades now, it' s hard to believe a book could come along at this point to burn a whole new perspective into our consciousness. But that' s just what Martin Goldsmith has done with this astonishing work. . . . Goldsmith [writes] with modesty, restraint, and skill . . . masterly."-SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE "A fascinating insight into a virtually unknown chapter of nazi rule in Germany, made all the more engaging through a son' s discovery of his own remarkable parents."-TED KOPPEL, ABC News "An immensely moving and powerful description of those evil times. I couldn' t put the book down."-JAMES GALWAY, Grammy Awardwinning Flutist "Martin Goldsmith has written a moving and personal account of a search for identity. His is a story that will touch all readers with its integrity. . . . This is a journey everyone should take."-LEONARD SLATKIN, Music Director, National Symphony Orchestra "For years I' ve been familiar with Martin Goldsmith' s musical expertise. This book explains the source of his knowledge and his passion for the subject. In tracking the extraordinary story of his parents and the Jewish Kulturbund, Martin unfolds a little-known piece of Holocaust history, and finds depths in his own heart that warm the hearts of readers."-SUSAN STAMBERG, Special Correspondent, National Public Radio "As much a tribute to the power of music as it is a Holocaust memoir, this book tells the deeply affecting story of a love that survived the terrors of WWII."-PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
