In this paper, the author reflects on his family’s trauma, a trauma he began to grapple with after seeing photos of refugees disembarking from overcrowded boats on the island of Lesvos. The photos of these people stepping on the same shore as his father’s family almost one hundred years ago evoked reactions that lead him to reflect on what was known but never thought nor discussed in his life.
