"Searching for dead Holocaust relatives is a little like tumbling dominoes, in that once the first one falls, then the rest will usually tumble neatly into place. For the longest time I had only a faint idea of what happened to my mother’s 10 brothers and sisters, 6 of whom perished in Kosiv, Poland, now Ukraine."

Ethan Schaff took his mother to the place of her childhood. Read the rest of his story here.
