Tell me I belong : a journey across faiths and generations / David Weill.
"David Weill grew up in New Orleans the only son of a world-famous Jewish pulmonologist and a Southern Baptist mother. Religion was never discussed in his home, though his father and grandfather were rescued from Nazi Germany in 1939 by their relative and famed composer, Kurt Weill. As a young child, David always felt something was amiss -- that he never quite fit in with either the Christian or Jewish communities -- and those feelings stayed with him into adulthood. After he became the head of lung transplant at Stanford Universtiy, he was led to two journeys of discover: first, converting to Catholicism when crisis hit, and then embarking on an intense search for his Jewish roots after discovering his mother had converted to Judaism. In Tell Me I Belong, Weill takes us on his journey -- hiring investigators who found records of his grandfather's time imprisoned in Buchenwald concentration camp; a heart-wrenching trip to Berlin to find his father's first home -- and, ultimately, works to define himself." -- Book jacket.
