A powerful, deeply researched memoir about migration, family secrets, and the search for identity across generations.   Lost Roots is a personal reconstruction of family history shaped by displacement, silence, and resilience. Drawing on archives, memory, and inherited stories, Karl von Loewe traces the journeys that shaped his father and grandparents as political upheavals shifted borders around them. What begins as a search for origin becomes a larger exploration of identity, belonging, and the hidden emotional legacies passed through generations.   A blend of memoir and historical reflection, Lost Roots will resonate with readers of migration stories, European history, and personal narratives that connect individual memories with global events.
