by Bernice Eisenstein
- 1 Want to read
"Bernice Eisenstein's parents met in Auschwitz and married shortly after Liberation before coming to Canada. Her memoir begins with recollections and images of her childhood within a Yiddish-speaking household in Toronto in the early 1950s. Her parents' experiences in the war, hardly spoken about, were always present." "It was only later, as she gathered the fragments of her parents' harrowing past, that Eisenstein began to discover her own relationship to the Holocaust and how it has shaped who she is." "This illustrated memoir explores the process of memory, of loss, and the indelible nature of the past."--Jacket.
