A survivor begins an epic search for his wife through post-war Europe. Here is a memoir of the twentieth century’s greatest cataclysm, with a profound and illuminating difference. Casting light on the little-examined period of chaos immediately after World War II, it tells how, with unflagging courage and perseverence, one man and his wife recover freedom and individual dignity. The Aftermath was the inspiration for the international award-winning documentary, Dark Lullabies.
