Her grandfather, Sigmund, a respected Jewish hat maker with a thriving shop, stays behind, believing he still has time. He doesn’t.Doris rarely speaks of what came before. She builds a life in America—marriage, children, forward motion—but the past remains, folded into silences and careful omissions. What she cannot say still shapes what her family lives with.Decades later, Sigmund’s great-granddaughter, Deborah Holman, begins asking questions. Through letters, archival research, and family memory, she reconstructs a story marked by displacement, endurance, and the quiet emotional toll of survival. The record is not always complete, but the truth is there—in fragments, in documents, in what was avoided for years.In the epilogue, the author recounts the reparations process that helped her mother remain at home through the end of her life.Nothing Really Bad Will Happen is a historically grounded family memoir about what was taken, what was carried forward, and what it means to finally name the truth.
