Ruth Rothwax is in her early forties, convinced single and notoriously on a diet. Whenever she finds time for this as the head of a correspondence office, she torments herself while jogging. Nothing special for a New Yorker in 1991. But Ruth, daughter of two Jewish Auschwitz survivors, grew up in Australia and only later moved to New York. The question of her European roots does not let go of her, and so after the fall of the wall she decides to travel to Poland with her widowed father Edek and go in search of clues. It will be a journey to the places of his past and a deep immersion in the traumas of the second generation, into the speechlessness and the unspoken, deep love between father and daughter.
To the poet:
Lily Brett OAM (born 5. September 1946 in Feldafing; born Lilijahne Breitstein; also Luba Brajsztajn) is an Australian-American writer. She was born in Feldafing. Her parents, who at that time lived in the DP camp Feldafing (at Lake Starnberg), a camp for displaced persons, had survived an odyssey as Jews through various forced labor camps. They had married in the forced ghetto Litzmannstadt, were separated in the Auschwitz concentration camp and found each other again after the liberation. In 1948, the family emigrated to Australia.
