Between May 1947 and August 1948, Lejb Majzels of the Central Committee of Polish Jews set out twenty-eight times to find fifty-two children who had survived the Holocaust and were still with Poles. He noted every trip: when he left, when he arrived, whether he found the child, and for how much it could be bought back. Seventy years later the author follows his two notebooks, searching for the smallest trace that might lead to the children, now scattered, some to the ends of the earth, and then faces the harder task of getting them to remember.
