The book chronicles the story of the Rosenbaum family, a pseudonym, spanning the period from 1896 to 1970.
It begins in Romania and Hungary and extends into the post-war era, during which the family initially emigrated to Israel and later, ironically, to Germany.
It tells a story of uprooting, loneliness, failure, and loss during challenging times, but also of success and the strong determination that accompanied and sustained a family: "Never give up, no matter what!"
