Om The Absent Moon

'A beautiful work that is in turn haunting, touching and redemptive' SIMON SEBAG MONTEFIORE When Luiz Schwarcz was a child, he was told little about his grandfather and namesake Láios - 'Luiz' in Hungarian. Only later would Luiz learn that Láios had defied his country's Nazi occupiers and ordered his son to leap from the train on the way to a German death camp, while Láios himself was carried on to his death. Young Luiz assumed responsibility for his parents' happiness, as many children of trauma do, and for a time he seemed to be succeeding. But then, at a high point of outward success, Luiz was brought low by a devastating mental breakdown. This astonishing memoir interrogates a personal story of mental health through a family history of murder, dispossession, silence, and the long echo of the Holocaust across generations.

'A beautiful work that is in turn haunting, touching and redemptive'
SIMON SEBAG MONTEFIORE

When Luiz Schwarcz was a child, he was told little about his grandfather and namesake Láios - 'Luiz' in Hungarian. Only later would Luiz learn that Láios had defied his country's Nazi occupiers and ordered his son to leap from the train on the way to a German death camp, while Láios himself was carried on to his death.

Young Luiz assumed responsibility for his parents' happiness, as many children of trauma do, and for a time he seemed to be succeeding. But then, at a high point of outward success, Luiz was brought low by a devastating mental breakdown.

This astonishing memoir interrogates a personal story of mental health through a family history of murder, dispossession, silence, and the long echo of the Holocaust across generations.
