Natalie recommends "Shmuel's Bridge: Following the Tracks to Auschwitz with My Survivor Father"

With May being Jewish American Heritage Month, it felt like a good time as any to pick up this book.  I always appreciate a good biography and this sounded like an interesting one.  Told from the perspective of the author, this book discusses his ninety eight year old father, a survivor of Auschwitz, and his journey to retrace his and his brother Shmuel's footsteps.  Though his father's memory is slowly leaving him, what he and the author learn and remember along the way helps the author better understand his father and the life experiences he had.  

This book brings a personal level to the tragedy that was the Holocaust as the author tries to preserve the importance of this past while trying to understand it through his father's eyes, who had experienced it.
