"Growing up, Esther Safran Foer didn’t know much about her family’s history. The child of two Holocaust survivors, she was used to the silence. “My parents were reluctant to speak of the past, and I learned to maneuver around difficult subjects” she writes in I Want You to Know We’re Still Here. Eventually she wanted to know more, and so she set out with just a faded photograph and some historical records to try to find the family that hid her father from the Nazis. Part mystery, part memoir, she takes you on a journey to a small Ukrainian town to try to fill in the gaps of her history."
