Ulrich Boschwitz wrote his novel about a German Jew on the run in the days after Kristallnacht.
One day last March, former U.S. Sen. Rudy Boschwitz opened his Wall Street Journal to find a review of a book that had been written by his cousin Ulrich. His cousin, who he hadn't known was a writer. His cousin, who had died in 1942.
"I was startled when it appeared," Rudy said. "I had never heard that Ulrich was a writer."
