Lost Roots recounts one family’s experience in three different countries, Poland, Germany and the United States in an era of violence, displacement, and repression. The author describes how eugenics and tribalism shaped immigration and citizenship laws in the U.S. and Germany in the twentieth century and reveals how rampant ethnic nationalism of the time distorted a generation’s knowledge of its origins, creating secrets that were kept for decades.
