The town of Rechnitz, on the Austro-Hungarian border, was confronted with its past when a Jewish member of the community decided to search for 180 bodies of Jewish slave laborers killed by the Nazis in 1945 and hidden somewhere within the village. Forty-five years later, it was hoped, the bodies could be unearthed and given a proper burial, but the process turned out to be more difficult than expected. A true-life mystery, A Wall of Silence is an often fascinating account of complicity, denial and lingering anti-Semitism a half-century after the horrific revelations of the Holocaust.
