The Berlin Diaries (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780573712388)

Following stories across time, space and distant family connections, Andrea Stolowitz traces the path of her great-grandfather, Max, a German Jew who escaped to New York City in 1939. Though Max's story was "verschollen," or lost, Stolowitz uses his journal as a guide, winding her way across continents and decades in a moving combination of docudrama and biography in which two actors play 14 characters.
