Description
Lev Raphael grew up loathing everything German. A son of Holocaust survivors, he was certain that Germany was one place in the world he would never visit. Those feelings shaped his Jewish and gay identity, his life, and his career. Then the barriers of a lifetime began to come down, as revealed in this moving memoir. What would he learn if he actually travelled to the place where his mother had found freedom and met his father?
