A gripping, poetic and historically accurate description of one of the principal institutions of Holocaust research, the International Tracing Service at Bad Arolsen. Gaëlle Nohant gave me access to the archives, a place full of secrets, withheld for decades. I couldn't stop reading this seemingly simple but vital story of returning objects to their rightful place. I was transported by the violence, grief, trauma, generational secrets, and ultimately the power of memory and restitution.
