She is now fifty five years old, after years of trying to learn about her dad and trying to contact him or at least find out if he is still alive. She has returned to Poland, the land of her birth, perhaps someone knows about her dad.She meets an old man in his eighties who has lost his memory of his youth. Can he be her father? Is it possible that the many Nazi beatings that he suffered during years of incarceration caused his loss of memory? Is she able to help him regain his past? Can she finally, after close to fifty years of searching, defeat the Nazis and be reunited with her dad?The story is true, but it is written like an engrossing suspenseful novel and, as with a good novel, it draws its readers' attention. It is hard to put down.There are subplots, such as the love story of her father and mother, her mother's escape from the Nazis while she was pregnant, the girl's birth surrounded by nuns who name the Jewish child Mary, or Miriam in Hebrew, after Jesus' mother, the two miracles surrounding Miriam's birth that the city is unable to forget for two generations, Miriam growing up in Israel, her marriage and children, the capture of her husband by Egyptians, and the rise of her husband to become a two star general in the Israeli Air Force, representing his country in America.This book is so good that readers will find themselves saying that they hope that Miriam Romm writes another book, either fact or fiction. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Enjoyable read, of specific interest to Genealogists *by J***W on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 1, 2010* I put aside this book after reading the first chapter; it was a difficult read in many ways and along with the subject matter I thought I would try it again later. I finally made another attempt and was glad I did. I agree with many of the other reviewers that the translating of the story from Hebrew to English created a rather awkward storyline. I found that by treating the storyline as a series of "vignettes" I was able to put the puzzle of this story together and enjoy it. I truly enjoyed visualizing Moniek, what a wonderful picture of this real flesh and blood man the author paints for us! I think this story would be of particular interest to genealogists, the process of research outlined in this book is truly wonderful. I was however disappointed that the question of the character of Carl was never completely answered. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/6664311-ostrich-feathers-paperback-september-10-2009](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/6664311-ostrich-feathers-paperback-september-10-2009) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-01*
