What happens when the past cannot be fully known-only imagined, pursued, and pieced together over time?
Two Cars and a Wagon tells the story of a Jewish family's survival across Ukraine and Poland during the Holocaust. From the dangers surrounding the Warsaw Uprising to imprisonment in a German POW camp, survival depended on secrecy, resourcefulness, and impossible decisions.
But this is also the story of what came after.
Haunted by the gaps in her parents' stories and the unknown fates of her extended family, the author embarks on a lifelong search for answers. Through travels to Poland, archival research, and family papers, she reconstructs what can be known-and confronts what cannot.
Blending historical research with imagined first-person voices, she gives presence to those who could not tell their own stories.
