The book's title refers to the author's mother, Mutti, who while consulting a fortune-teller in Katowice, Poland was told that her child was "ein Glückskind" – a lucky child – an accurate prophecy in light of future events. Author Buergenthal's father, in response to the prophecy commented that "The only thing that fortune-teller knows that we don't know is how to make money in these bad times."
