Lost & Found

Meer over het boek

This book is full of love - of history and family. There are 8 contributors from many cities and countries, whose stories reflect the social and political upheavals of the previous century. There are snapshot portraits painted of people going back 16 generations. The first is David Mitzkun, circa 1580 from Lithuania. The family tree was translated from Hebrew by a genealogist who created a descendants report with most of the names and dates of these 16 generations. The youngest is a toddler in the newest generation. There are photos from the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries as well as historical documents. Included in the book is the story of recovery of the tree drawn by the author's great grandfather and family members who found one and other as result. This wonderful story has been televised as well as printed as a front page article of a New Jersey newspaper in 2014.
