Every family has secrets, but some are far darker and deeper than others.

Vanesa Neuman is the daughter of Holocaust survivors, and her childhood in the cramped intimacy of south Tel Aviv is shadowed by her parents’ unspoken wartime experiences. The past for her was a closed book… until her father passes away and that book falls literally open. Vanesa must now unravel the mystery of the diary she has received—and the strange symbol within—at all costs.

From Jerusalem’s Yad V’Shem Holocaust research center, to the backstreets of Prague, and into the former “paradise ghetto” of Theresienstadt, Vanesa’s journey of understanding will reveal a darker family past than she ever imagined—a secret kept alive for over half a century.

As he journeys through the ruins of his homeland, he confronts a world he no longer recognizes, a place of physical and social disintegration. Torn between the bonds of duty and family, Daniel is forced to plumb the true depths of his loss and, ultimately, confront the unintended consequences of his choices.
