'PROFOUNDLY MOVING' - ANDREW MARR
Sorting through papers and photographs after his mother's death,
Michael Moritz uncovers the history of close family members murdered
by the Nazis. Exploring their journey takes him into a past of
tragedy, grief and
the dark shadows cast on Jewish life by the Holocaust.
Leaving Germany as child refugees, Moritz's parents escape to London
before settling in Cardiff, Wales, after the war. But the idea of
being a stranger or outsider - _Ausländer_ - haunts the family;
running through Moritz's childhood and resurfacing in his adopted home
of California, where he has become one of Silicon Valley's
most celebrated investors.
'As the shadows of Trump lengthened, the refrain I had heard from my
parents rang ever more loudly ... "If it did happen somewhere, it can
happen here".'
Disturbingly relevant to contemporary America, _Ausländer_ shows what
can happen to families when
ordinary people hand licence to despots.
