THE ABSENT MOON: A MEMOIR OF A SHORT CHILDHOOD AND A LONG DEPRESSION
By Luiz Schwarcz
Synopsis
When Luiz Schwarcz was a child, he knew very little about his grandfather Laios, a Hungarian Jew. Only later would he learn that Laios had ordered his son, Luiz's father, to leap from a train taking them to a Nazi death camp, while Laios himself was carried on to his death. What Luiz did know was that his father's melancholia haunted the house he grew up in. Compassionate and tender, The Absent Moon interrogates a personal story of inherited trauma through a family history of murder, silence and the long echo of the Holocaust across generations.
