What people are saying.

  • “Immaculate storytelling. It strikes me that everyone has a version of this, secrets, blind spots in our families, though [this family’s story] is the paragon of drama.”

  • “With such a thorough yet almost light-hearted documentary approach so far — full of ironies & not a little humor at [her] own expense — [it’s] got just the right balance between the serious, the absurd, the tragic, & the funny.”

  • "So haunting. Beautifully told."

  • "I recommend listening to episode one episode two in succession, in the space of an afternoon. I was completely drawn in, utterly captivated, so fascinated, and so moved. "

  • “I want to know so much more. A man who keeps refocusing, making things happen, creating businesses, advocating. An original mover and shaker.”

  • "Really beautifully done … and produced. I doubt I would have the tenacity (or well, fearlessness) to dig into the past like [she] did. Truly life changing … on so many levels."

  • "What happens when the ancestral story is different than originally thought? What if it has complicated ties to World War II, an escape of impending genocide, the ins and outs of a business maven known by Hitler, FDR, and Hoover, and that maven’s eventual suicide? By discovering the truth about her grandfather and untangling a knotty web of details about a layered, sometimes manic entrepreneur who had one hundred irons on the fire at any given moment, the narrator comes to a fuller understanding of what was lost. And most importantly, what has been gained by the discoveries."
