This family's account of the Holocaust in Serbia unveils a significant, previously unrecognized aspect of Holocaust history, alongside a daughter's unwavering quest to reveal the story that began a generation before her birth.

From a young age, Julie Brill struggled to understand how her father survived as a young Jewish boy in Belgrade, where the Nazis annihilated 90 percent of the Jewish population without resorting to gas chambers or cattle cars.

Through diligent research, a stroke of luck, and three meaningful trips to Serbia, she reconstructs her family's hidden history, uncovers concealed truths, and restores to her father a piece of what the Nazis took from him: his own family legacy.
