Summary:"In 1938, just before they were killed by the Nazis, Frieda and Siegmund Westerfeld sent their twelve-year-old daughter, Edith, to live with relatives in America. Edith escaped the death camps but was left profoundly adrift, cut off from the culture of her homeland...her entire identity.

Then, with her daughter Fern, Edith returned to Germany." -- Jacket.
