This book was quite interesting in that there truly is a mystery. The author's father isn't quite sure how much he should trust his memories from when he was 5-years-old 60 years ago. He does know that he was born Jewish, but had to hide it or possibly be killed by the soldiers who made him a 'mascot.' With the help of his son's encouragement the father decides he wants to find out what his real name is, and where he is from. All he has to to go on is two words that may be names or places or nothing at all. I would have loved to pass it on, but I'm afraid it's a keeper.
