When we left Adolph Lempert, it was the early 1980s. He was working and living in Paris with his second wife. But where or when (or even IF) he died was still a mystery. So we got some help!
The plan was to go from beginning to end. First to Lemberg (now Lviv) where my grandfather was born, and then to the place we now know it ended. This season is the story of the journey that trip took us on. And of the people I met along the way.
