Investigating the death of Herberts Cukurs, a fugitive Nazi from Latvia who had served in her grandfather's unit, and modern efforts to exonerate him for his past actions, the author explores both her family story and the legacy of the post-Holocaust era in Europe, and how that legacy extends into the present.

What happens in a Jewish family's collective mind when they come to find that one of their own was
most likely guilty of working against their own people in Latvia during the German occupation? Was it justice or what if Mossad eliminated suspects who emigrated to South America rather than returning them to Europe for trials? This well written and (painfully) well researched (and documented) book chronicles the work done in the 21st century to investigate possible connection of a family member to "The Butcher Of Riga" and more. An emotionally difficult read for anyone, but worth the self-examination it engenders.
The book is backed by solid research and evidence from those involved. Very moving.
I requested and received a free e-book copy from PublicAffairs/Hachette US via NetGalley. Thank you!
