Taking over from her father as head of an organization whose purpose is to bring Nazi war criminals to justice, Milia Gottstein has dedicated her life to making sure the voices of Holocaust victims will never be silenced. This overwhelming mission has usurped her passion and energy, leaving little time for her personal life. Just as she prepares to leave her job, she accepts an invitation as keynote speaker at a Holocaust conference in Lithuania, a country that has not only engaged in Holocaust distortion and refused to educate their children as to the true role their country played in the annihilation of its Jewish population, but has also continued to honor mass murderers.
This powerful and provocative novel is not only about the Lithuanian-Nazi collaboration and distortion of history, but also the wider topic of what the relationship today should be between the children of survivors and those of perpetrators.
Naomi Ragen is an American author and playwright who has lived in Jerusalem since 1971. She is an outspoken advocate for women’s rights and an active combatant against anti-Israel and anti-Semitic propaganda through her website.
