This memoir traces Anne’s family back over 400 years from Germany to Palestine to the Americas and Australia. Stories of secrets, scandals and tall tales provide a glimpse of past lives and the times in which they lived. They also show how greater events influenced how their lives unfolded.

Closer to the present, echoes from the past still resonate. The memories of past lives passed down become the ‘stumbling stones’ which we trip over from time to time. They allow our ancestors to live again, remind us where we have come from, and better see where we might be going.

My Family's Stumbling Stones is a journey through history, revealing the intricate tapestry of family connections across continents and generations.
