Days of Atonement

"Days of Atonement" tells the story of a contemporary Jewish woman's search for her roots against the historical backdrop of the Greek Holocaust.

While searching for her family's roots, Beka Freeman unearths never-revealed stories of struggles for human survival during the terrors of the Nazi occupation of Greece. "Days of Atonement" weaves together the riveting history of the Greek Holocaust with Beka's search for her own Jewish identity and spiritual path. On her journey, Beka, an American sociologist, single mother, and daughter of a feisty widowed mother, not only discovers the secrets of members of the Solomonides family stretching from Athens to Israel to Hollywood, but also finds love with a Greek man who compels her to re-define herself.
