THE MISSING: THE TRUE STORY OF MY FAMILY IN WORLD WAR II
The true story of Michael Rosen’s search for his relatives who “went missing” during the Second World War, told through prose, poetry, maps and pictures. 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. They were there before the war, his dad would say, and weren’t after. 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 that has inspired his poetry for years since.
