Protestant. Catholic. Outsider. Enemy. From an early age, he witnesses violence, division, and fear. Bricks crashing through windows. Racial abuse was directed at his family. The constant pressure of being labelled and judged for things beyond his control.But the hatred surrounding him is not random. It is learned. It is passed down. It lives quietly inside families and communities, shaping how people see one another.Behind closed doors lies a hidden truth. A grandmother who erased her past. A family secret tied to Jewish identity, survival, and silence in the shadow of the Holocaust.As John grows older, loss, grief, and unanswered questions push him to search for answers.
