Description
A hidden Jewish kingdom in northwest Ukraine thrived as a bustling commercial center for over 5,000 people. Trochenbrod was a vibrant community that remained unknown to most people, despite being the "big city" for surrounding villages. The town vanished during the Holocaust, leaving behind only a mysterious double row of trees and bushes in a forest clearing. In this book, Avrom Bendavid-Val uncovers the secrets of his father's birthplace, bringing Trochenbrod's true story to life for young readers. Bendavid-Val's journey takes him back to the lost town where his father was born and raised, revealing the history and culture of a place that was once home to an entire community.
