A Memoir

Produktbeschreibung

'When five words uttered by a German soldier determine whether you live or die, you spend your life trying to unravel all the what-ifs. What if I had not been born in Poland in 1939? What if those five words had not been said? What if I had grown up in a safe, happy environment, surrounded by a large family?'
Take the Child and Disappear examines the Shoah (Holocaust) from multiple perspectives - before, during and after. As the author recounts her experiences and those of her family members, she contemplates the many ways being a child survivor has shaped her life, both consciously and unconsciously. 'I have lived a happy and fulfilling life, surrounded by a large, loving family and enriched by years of community involvement. Yet despite this, there has always been a sense of dislocation and some unresolved questions, most troubling of which were - who am I and where do I belong? I thought a visit to Poland might answer them. It did not.' The book is also about Hadassa, Nina's courageous and wise mother.
