family who survived the Holocaust and were rendered
first generation immigrants. His Jewish heritage is very
much a part of his odyssey. His touches on the Jewish
practice of laying small stones at the grave of the deceased
as tributary, and points out that the Hebrew word for stone
is a veritable hieroglyph, comprised of letters for father
and son, and the anagram “that which contains soul.” His
final chapter touches upon his great aunt Emma, who was
imprisoned in Theresienstadt concentration camp, where
she was forced to cut mica stone for critical industrial use
in insulation by the Nazi powers. He also feels a kinship
for Sigmund Freud, like his great aunt and aunt residents
of Austria, who inspired him to seek the deeper meanings
behind things, psychology linked to historical archaeology.
