In May 1933 Rudolf Schwab fled Nazi-occupied Germany. His departure allegedly came at the insistence of a close friend who later joined the Party. Schwab eventually arrived in South Africa, and years later resumed a relationship in letters with the Nazi who in many ways saved his life. From Things Lost is a story of displacement, survival, and an unlikely friendship in the wake of the Holocaust.
