A San Francisco Chronicle Best Book of the Year
An impressive, highly readable exploration of atrocity, trauma, and memory that examines the legacies of the Holocaust, Hiroshima, and other mass trauma events a powerful book (Viet Thanh Nguyen, Pulitzer Prize winning author of The Sympathizer).
As firsthand survivors of many of the 20th century s most monumental events the Holocaust, Hiroshima, the Killing Fields begin to pass away, Survivor Cafe addresses urgent questions: How do we carry those stories forward? How do we collectively ensure that the horrors of the past are not forgotten?
Elizabeth Rosner organizes her book around three trips with her father to Buchenwald concentration camp in 1983, in 1995, and in 2015 each journey an experience in which personal history confronts both commemoration and memorialization. She explores the echoes of similar legacies among descendants of African American slaves, descendants of Cambodian survivors of the Killing Fields, descendants of survivors of the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and the effects of 9/11 on the general population. Examining current brain research, Rosner depicts the efforts to understand the intergenerational inheritance of trauma, as well as the intricacies of remembrance in the aftermath of atrocity. Survivor Cafe becomes a lens for numerous constructs of memory from museums and commemorative sites to national reconciliation projects to small group cross cultural encounters.
Beyond preserving the firsthand testimonies of participants and witnesses, individuals and societies must continually take responsibility for learning the painful lessons of the past in order to offer hope for the future. Survivor Cafe offers a clear eyed sense of the enormity of our 21st-century-human inheritance not only among direct descendants of the Holocaust but also in the shape of our collective responsibility to learn from tragedy, and to keep the ever changing conversations alive between the past and the present.
Each page is imbued with urgency, with sincerity, with heartache, with heart . . . [Rosner s] words, alongside the words of other survivors of atrocity and their descendants across the globe, can help us build a more humane world.

Rosner s memoir, which combines moving personal narrative with illuminating research into the impact of mass trauma on a personal and cultural scale, is imbued with urgency, sincerity, heartache, and heart. San Francisco Chronicle, 1 of 100 Best Books of 2017
There s been a slew of research examining the genetic effects of psychological trauma, but author Elizabeth Rosner is among the first to take a deep dive into the personal implications of such inheritance with her stunning new book, Survivor Cafe : The Legacy of Trauma and the Labyrinth of Memory. Orange County Register
In deep fissures and dark alleys having to do with multigenerational trauma, anti Semitism, racism, terrorism, torture, death and loss, Berkeley writer Elizabeth Rosner uncovers, improbably, hope and connection. The Mercury News
Survivor Cafe is a beautifully expressed personal examination of how trauma is passed down through generations...An exquisite read. The Daily Gazette
This is a personal exploration for Rosner, but also an exploration of the commonalities found in the children of survivors. Read it Forward
Survivor Cafe is an exercise in mapmaking, in identifying convergent paths in apparently disparate legacies left by the world s humanitarian disasters . . . [Rosner] asks us to look inside ourselves, to learn from the past, to forgive, and to understand the deep connections binding us to our past, our future, and to all other things. Lilith Magazine
Rosner demonstrates a rare blend of scholarly assessment and personal revelation, tempering her singular passion with an encompassing mercy. In this important and vital contribution to the conversation about legacy and responsibility, Rosner distills the magnitude of such burdens and defines the scope of memorialization with an elegance and eloquence that reverberates with both depth and nuance. Booklist (starred review)
A thoughtful, probing meditation on the fragility of memory and the indelible inheritance of pain. Kirkus Reviews
Novelist Rosner (Electric City) shines an unblinking light on the most horrific of 20th century crimes and asks: What is the intergenerational legacy of trauma? . . . She considers art, anniversaries, memorials, and psychotherapy, but the most powerful technique she finds for dealing with trauma is simply telling the story behind it . . . Themes of memory, language, and the bodily imprint of trauma are powerful, as are Rosner s accounts of revisiting Buchenwald with her father . . . Rosner's conclusions that powerful suffering must be communicated before healing can occur and that the most profound of human atrocities must be acknowledged so that their like does not happen again open the door to understanding and, optimistically, show a path to peace. Publishers Weekly
This is the book that clinicians and patients alike have been waiting for. Rosner seamlessly integrates the latest research on intergenerational trauma with her own deeply moving personal account. The result is a true advancement in the field, a must read that is rich, accessible, compelling, and informative. Joshua Simmons, Psy.D., Clinical Psychologist and Candidate in Analytic Training at the C.G. Jung Institute of San Francisco
Using her experiences as a child of Holocaust survivors, [Rosner] navigates the audience through the realms of epigenetics, psychotherapy, history, and philosophical struggles to bring something unique to the study of trauma . . . These personal recollections provide a dimension that softens some of the most indigestible theories and concepts that we have come to associate with memory, psychology, psychoanalysis, trauma, and history . . . paving the way for future studies. Ellis Spicer, Reviews in History, Institute of Historical Research
In Survivor Cafe , Elizabeth Rosner brilliantly captures both the enormity of war and its enduring aftershocks the devastating legacies for victims, perpetrators, and societies who suffer through and beyond it. A mixture of history, personal narrative, and research, the book expertly documents how atrocities are passed down through generations and how we may find ways to contain this pernicious inheritance. Survivor Cafe is a vital, living document that proves the end of war is far from the end of the battle. Andrew Carroll, editor of the New York Times bestsellers War Letters and Behind the Lines
Using the Holocaust as a focal point, Survivor Cafe renders a profound and unflinching portrait of trauma and the memory of trauma, the consequences of inhumanity, atrocities that do not end with one generation but are inherited as nightmare, memory, and affliction, passed on to the next generation and the next and the next. With vivid stories and brilliant insights, this book must be required reading for those who want to understand not just our collective history but the present moment.
