Plunder : a memoir of family property and Nazi treasure / Menachem Kaiser.

Kaiser, Menachem, 1985- (author.).

Summary:

"When Menachem Kaiser takes up his Holocaust survivor grandfather's former battle to reclaim the family's apartment building in Sosnowiec, Poland, he finds himself on a circuitous path to encounters with the long-time residents of the building, and with a Polish lawyer known as "The Killer." A surprise discovery ( that his grandfather's cousin not only survived the war but wrote a secret memoir while a slave laborer in a vast, secret Nazi tunnel complex-) leads to Kaiser being adopted as a virtual celebrity by a band of Silesian treasure-seekers who revere the memoir as the indispensable guidebook to Nazi plunder. Here Kaiser questions: What does it mean to seize your own legacy? Can reclaimed property repair rifts among the living?"--Adapted from the book jacket.
