Held captive in the Mauthausen, Gusen and Gunskirchen concentration camps, Dave Hersch achieved the impossible: he escaped. Dave often told his story of survival, and his son, Jack, thought he knew it well. But years after his father's death, he came across a photograph of his father on, of all places, the Mauthausen Memorial's website. It was an image he had never seen before - and it propelled him on an intensely personal journey of discovery. Using only his father's words for guidance, Jack takes us along as he flies to Europe to learn the secrets behind the photograph, secrets his father never told of his time in the camps.
