'In 1941\, the first Neumann family member was taken by the Nazis\, arrested in German-occupied Czechoslovakia for b athing in a stretch of river forbidden to Jews. He was transported to Ausc hwitz. Eighteen days later his prisoner number was entered into the morgue book. Of thirty-four Neumann family members\, twenty-five were murdered b y the Nazis. One of the survivors was Hans Neumann\, who\, to escape the G erman death net\, traveled to Berlin and hid in plain sight under the Gest apo's eyes. What Hans experienced was so unspeakable that\, when he built an industrial empire in Venezuela\, he couldn't bring himself to talk abou t it. All his daughter Ariana knew was that something terrible had happene d. When Hans died\, he left Ariana a small box filled with letters\, diary entries\, and other memorabilia. Ten years later\, Ariana finally summone d the courage to have the letters translated\, and she began reading. What she discovered launched her on a worldwide search that would deliver inde lible portraits of a family loving\, finding meaning\, and trying to survi ve amid the worst that can be imagined. When Time Stopped is a powerful de tective story and an epic family memoir\, spanning nearly ninety years and crossing oceans. Neumann brings each relative to vivid life. In uncoverin g her father's story after all these years\, she discovers nuance and dept h to her own history and liberates poignant and thought-provoking truths a bout the threads of humanity that connect us all.'--
