On the Move: Home Is Where You Find It

Michael Rosen

This poetry collection considers home and migration through Michael Rosen’s personal and family history. One section addresses Jewish relatives who were displaced or missing because of the Holocaust, while others revisit family traditions, songs, languages, memories of the war, and the author’s search for relatives murdered by Nazis. The final poems connect this history with refugees living today. An introduction distinguishes migrants from refugees.
