The book: This moving memoir chronicles the year a young reporter spent living in Poland, getting to know the family that saved her mother during the Holocaust only to discover that they needed her to fulfill a decades-old promise. It's a 21st century look at the ongoing consequences of the Holocaust and a personal exploration of the way the stories and histories we've all inherited have been distorted by decades of memory and spin.
The author: Erin Einhorn is a reporter for the New York Daily News, where she's covered New York City’s government and the nation’s largest public school system. She has written for the Philadelphia Inquirer, Philadelphia Daily News and Fortune magazine.
