The Sixth Lamentation, by William Broderick

An elderly man is put on trial for war crimes. A concentration camp survivor diagnosed with a terminal illness writes down her life story, which she has spent years trying to blank out, for her grand-daughter. In a tangle of love and betrayal, around a group of people smuggling Jewish children out of Nazi occupied Paris, identities are shed and assumed. Fifty years later, descendants of those involved have to come to terms with how the past comes back to change their lives. A throught-provoking tear jerker.
