Everything Is Illuminated: A Journey to Discover the Past

Search for Trachimbrod in Ukraine

Jonathan Safran Foer, a young American Jew, embarks on a quest to Ukraine to find Augustine, the woman who saved his grandfather, Safran Foer, during the Holocaust. He is in search of a small town called Trachimbrod that was wiped off the map when the Nazis liquidated Eastern European shtetls.

Heritage Tours and Unexpected Help

Jonathan arranges to hire Odesa-based Heritage Tours to assist him. Despite their general uncaring attitude towards Jewish people, his guides, including a cranky grandfather Alexander Perchov, a wound-up dog, Sammy Davis Jr. Jr., and an enthusiastic grandson, Alexander III (“Alex”), become invested in Jonathan’s compelling story and decide to help him in his search.

Misadventures in Volhynia

As they journey through Volhynia in search of the shtetl, the group experiences a series of humorous misadventures that highlight the cultural differences between Jonathan as an American tourist and the local Ukrainian surroundings.

Discovery and Farewell

Travelling through rural western Ukraine, the group eventually finds Augustine’s sister, Lista, who reveals the tragic fate of Augustine during the Holocaust. Jonathan’s grandfather had left for the United States shortly before the massacre. As their journey comes to an end, Alex’s grandfather quietly takes his own life, revealing his Jewish heritage and past struggles during the Holocaust.
