Lost and Found

Lost and Found: Historical Novel

NOVEMBER 1940: a mysterious explosion sinks the Patria, anchored in the Haifa Harbor. On board are 2,500 Jewish refugees fleeing Nazi-occupied Europe. The British Palestine Mandate authorities are ready to deport them. A four-year-old boy disappears while his parents and newborn brother are saved. What happened to him?

Waving together a true story and imagined narratives, Lost and Found wrestles with a wrenching human quandary: can you love a child enough that you are willing to give them up?
