"Troubled Memory is the story of Anne Skorecki Levy, the Holocaust survivor who transformed the horrors of her childhood into a passionate mission to defeat the political menace of Louisiana's David Duke. Beyond chronicling one family's flight from persecution to freedom, however, it offers testament to how the experiences of survivors as new Americans spurred their willingness to bear witness.".
"Lawrence Powell integrates the Skorecki's odyssey within the larger currents of European and recent American history. Perhaps the only family to survive the liquidation of the Warsaw ghetto as a group, the Skoreckis evaded deportation to Treblinka, posed as Aryans, and ultimately made their way to New Orleans, where they settled and daughters Anne and Lila married and raised families.
Equally inspiring is the story of how Anne Skorecki Levy came to grips with a survivor's obligation to honor the suffering of the past by confronting the evil of racist hatred in the present. Breaking decades of silence, she played a direct role in the unmasking and defeat of Neo-Nazi David Duke in Louisiana's 1991 gubernatorial race."--BOOK JACKET.
