Welcome to Litsy!

The book is based on a photograph brought to the Holocaust Museum in DC. There were so many important & sad points made throughout the book. There are so many people & families that were murdered that historians feel that they still don‘t have the full story. That there has been so much whitewashing & pushback on researchers. Making it difficult to access archives or digger further into the past. My grandmothers family left Poland in the early

In 2009,the author was searching in the archives of the US Holocaust Memorial Museum for Nazi documentation that might result in the prosecution of the notorious Bernhard Frank,(Himmler protege)known to be alive in Germany.Two Prague journalists interrupted her to show her this photograph taken on 10/13/1941, in Miropol,Ukraine.This find prompted her to undertake a quest to answer the questions this photograph seemed to be asking of her.

In 2009, historian Wendy Lower discovered this photo in the US Holocaust Memorial Museum. It depicts the actual moment of the murder of a Jewish family in 1941. Over a 10-year period, Lower conducted extensive research to identify the location and date of the mass executions, the German and Ukrainian soldiers who pulled the triggers, the Slovakian photographer who snapped the photo —and the identities of the woman and her children. #antifabookclub
