When Michael was growing up, stories often hung in the air about his great-uncles: one was a clock-mender and the other a dentist. \u003ci\u003eThey were there before the war\u003c\/i\u003e, his dad would say, \u003ci\u003eand weren’t after\u003c\/i\u003e. Over many years, Michael tried to find out exactly what happened: he interviewed family members, scoured the internet, pored over books and traveled to America and France. The story he uncovered was one of terrible persecution – and it has inspired his poetry for years since. Here, poems old and new are balanced against an immensely readable narrative; both an extraordinary account and a powerful tool for talking to children about the Holocaust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57535815385462,"sku":"9781406395594","price":5.67,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_28708133.jpg?v=1774283321","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781406395594-the-missing-the-true-story-of-my-family-in-world-war-ii","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
