Description: "As a young girl, Anni is confronted with her family tree. As she scrutinizes it with her father, it seems to her that she has the awesome responsibility of bearing on her own slim shoulders the intolerable weight of all her ancestors.

A mixture of oral history, personal reminiscences, and painstaking research."--BOOK JACKET.
