Descendants of Holocaust survivors investigate what happened to their relatives — and stumble upon facts that have been classified by the Polish government until now... Investigative journalist Judy Rakowski and her elderly cousin Sam, a Holocaust survivor, have been carrying unanswered questions all their lives.: What happened to their relatives during the dark wartime? All they remembered was that they were hiding from the Nazis on the farm of their Polish neighbors, and no one else heard from them.Returning to Poland in search of answers, Judy and Sam stumble upon a wall of silence. Even after 70 years, wartime secrets are still tightly guarded by the Polish government. Step by step, Judy and Sam begin to destroy the impregnable wall, which hides a dark legacy — the complicity of the Poles in the extermination of Jews... "The Farm" is the story of two amateur detectives and their desperate search for the truth. They knock on doors, request court documents, seek secret meetings, and eventually find out what really happened to their family."The Farm, a detective story spanning several continents, draws the attention of readers and researchers to the horrific acts committed by ordinary citizens during the Holocaust. A couple of investigative descendants knock on different doors and eventually discover what really happened to the Jews in the garden next door." — Jewish Book Council"'The Farm' reads like the best of the real-life murder mysteries. But in this case, the answer to who did it is frightening and makes it clear why today's Polish government is so determined to keep its bloody secrets from the time of the Holocaust." — Larry Tai, New York Times bestselling author, "Rakowski's prose is as good as any novelist's... a fascinating mix of the personal and the historical." — Booklist
