Joseph Wechsberg, of Czechoslovakia but an American soldier, comes back to his home town in Moravia, now in the Russian zone of occupation. His account of his trip and of what he found...his family home and the synagogue he had worshipped in as a child were gone when he got back. But to his happy surprise, he found members of his wife's family living among the rubble. They could tell him very little about his own family. Taken away...no records...blankness.
