Sample Book Insights:
#1 I am the offspring of Holocaust survivors, which means there is a tragic and complicated history. I grew up surrounded by ghosts, but I didnât know about the name of the person closest to me who was killed in the Holocaust.
#2 I have spent my life trying to excavate the memories that elude me. I have a collection of glass jars that contain slivers of memory from all over the world. Memories arenât static; they change with time.
#3 I have a great responsibility to keep the past alive, and I do this by taking care of my familyâs photographs and documents. I have memories of my parentsâ Holocaust experiences, and I canât bring myself to use the common euphemism perished.
#4 I began working on genealogy websites, and in 2009, I traveled to Ukraine to find the family that had hidden my father during the war. I wanted to know about my sister. I wanted to know about my father.
