I read Menachem’s Book Plunder, Couldn't put it down and plowed through it in
a few days.
I don’t know how he made a “deadening” wade through Polish bureaucracy to
find his grandfathers inheritance sound interesting enough to read a book about
it…but he does. The book takes many different turns and surprizes, and
adventures along the way- which are fascinating….. and yet is is the “Man’s
search for meaning” aspect of the book that gives it it depth of character.
There is enough humor, suspense, and mystery about Nazi treasure to be
entertaining, and the shear dedication- and tenacity- to the task of connecting
to his family lost legacy is admirable.
I also read “ The Unanswered letter” another “third wave” holocaust book
searching to piece a family story back together. It is also profound in is
thoroughness, and surprizes along the way.
I can recommend both these books.. they are examples of how we are still trying
to understand and piece together so much that was lost during the war.
