520    Alex's Wake is a tale of two parallel journeys undertaken 
       seven decades apart. In the spring of 1939, Alex and 
       Helmut Goldschmidt were two of more than 900 Jewish 
       refugees fleeing Nazi Germany aboard the St. Louis, the 
       saddest ship afloat (New York Times). Turned away from 
       Cuba, the United States, and Canada, the St. Louis 
       returned to Europe, a stark symbol of the world's 
       indifference to the gathering Holocaust. The Goldschmidts 
       disembarked in France, where they spent the next three 
       years in six different camps before being shipped to their
       deaths in Auschwitz. In the spring of 2011, Alex's 
       grandson, Martin Goldsmith, followed in his relatives' 
       footsteps on a six-week journey of remembrance and hope, 
       an irrational quest to reverse their fate and bring 
       himself peace. Alex's Wake movingly recounts the detailed 
       histories of the two journeys, the witnesses Martin 
       encounters for whom the events of the past are a vivid 
       part of a living present, and an intimate, honest attempt 
       to overcome a tormented family legacy.
