Children of the Holocaust: Conversations with Sons and Daughters of Survivors
Children of the Holocaust: Conversations with Sons and Daughters of Survivors
"I set out to find a group of people who, like me, were possessed by a history they had never lived."<br> The daughter of Holocaust survivors, Helen Epstein traveled from America to Europe to Israel, searching for one vital thin in common: their parent's persecution by the Nazis. She found:<br> • Gabriela Korda, who was raised by her parents as a German Protestant in South America;<br> • Albert Singerman, who fought in the jungles of Vietnam to prove that he, too, could survive a grueling ordeal;<br> • Deborah Schwartz, a Southern beauty queen who—at the Miss America pageant, played the same Chopin piece that was played over Polish radio during Hitler's invasion.<br> Epstein interviewed hundreds of men and women coping with an extraordinary legacy. In each, she found shades of herself.
