After his mother’s death, Charlie Scheidt discovered a trove of historic documents that set him on a decade-long journey to uncover his family’s hidden past during the Holocaust. Joined by Kat Rohrer, the granddaughter of a Nazi officer, Scheidt embarked on a quest to trace his family’s harrowing efforts to escape from Nazi-occupied Europe. As they investigated, they uncovered stories of survival and loss. Their journey takes them across generations and continents, revealing a legacy of love, loss, and resilience. Grappling with questions about the long-lasting effects of inherited trauma, the book asks whether it is possible to break free of a familial cycle. This memoir, rooted in his family’s escape and the lasting trauma that followed, is a powerful reflection on history’s enduring scars, the importance of remembrance, and healing across generations.

Charlie Scheidt is the chairman emeritus of Roland Foods. Born in New York City, he is the only child of German-Jewish refugees and dedicates his time to refugee support and genocide prevention.

Kat Rohrer is an award-winning producer and director. Her recent feature-length films include What a Feeling and the acclaimed documentary Back to the Fatherland.
