Children of the Holocaust: Conversations with Sons and Daughters of Survivors by Helen Epstein

informative slow-paced

4.0

 This is a collection of conversations with the children of Holocaust survivors. A lot of people left Europe when the war ended. They left their history, the left their struggle, they moved somewhere else to start over. In a lot of cases, they changed their names when they immigrated and pretended nothing ever happened. A lot of children grew up never knowing their history, why they didn't have a lot of family members, or learning anything about their religion or culture. It is so so tragic to think of all the interpersonal connections that never got to happen because of the Holocaust and the aftermath. This was a good book, and, I think, very important for everyone to read.
