Impossible Love: Ascher Levy's Longing for Germany
Roman Frister Phoenix, 2003
Rs 785

In an old cardboard suitcase found in a fleamarket in Jaffa, the author discovered the scraps of paper that were to form the basis of this remarkable history. Using everything from upholsterer's bills to personal letters, he reconstructs the story of the Levy family, who struggled to become one of the richest and most respected families in Pomerania, Prussia, but whose fortunes turned to dust in Nazi Germany.
