The book tells the testimony of Mónica Wartenberger and summarizes the transgenerational impact that the Jewish Holocaust had and still has on the children and grandchildren of the survivors.

Mónica's subjective account confers a unique and irreplaceable value to the events in the historical context of war and its repercussions. Her story reflects the complex world of relationships, guilt, forgiveness, shared love, and the various emotions experienced by human beings based on their experiences and their place within the family structure.

Mónica's father, Felix Wartenberger, leaves Berlin under Nazi rule and arrives in Uruguay in 1938, where he meets and marries Luisa Beckermann in 1942. After the war, Mónica's father receives the news that his first wife and two children, whom he believed to be dead, had survived the war. In 1947, Gerda and her children arrive in Uruguay, altering the course of both families' history.

The author, Ilana Lamstein, conducts thorough research using data and documentation. During this process, she contacts Jani Pietsch, a German historian and visual artist, who provides valuable information extracted from the State Archives in Germany. This completely changes the working methodology, providing a reliable framework of facts, revealing unknown and sometimes contradictory information that Mónica was unaware of.

The interviews are interspersed with bibliographic material, photographs, and consulted sources that expand and extrapolate Mónica's individual and unique story into the social, political, and historical context in which it unfolds.

The book includes a foreword by Teresa Porzecanski, the words of the former Ambassador of Germany to Uruguay, Ingo von Voss, and the analysis by Julián Schvindlerman and the contribution of Santiago Tricánico.
