It is her search for her lost family in later years, which takes her through Germany, America and ultimately lands her at Israel, in the middle of the Israel-Palestine conflict. “Yad Vashem” is a monument in Jerusalem to the memory of the six million Jews who were the victims of Nazism. Smt.Nemichandra says that in her novel it symbolizes millions of innocent lives perished in crimes of racism, genocide and mindless murder. The most memorable and touching words from her novel – “In the 20th century, Hitler was born in Germany. Today, he could be born anywhere- in America, in Israel, even in India, which professed non-violence. Without killing Hitler in our heart, can we really say ‘Never again’. The final solution has never been war.” © Mallikarjuna.D.G. Smt.Nemichandra dedicated her novel to her mother © Mallikarjuna.D.G.
