4.9/5 (29131 ratings)

Description:This is a collection of twelve moving essays written by daughters of Holocaust survivors. These are inspiring personal narratives that include powerful stories about the parents who survived the Holocaust, as well as stories of what it's like to grow up in the shadow of a survivor, and insight into how that combination contributed to the contributors' search for meaning and fulfillment in their lives. "Daughters of Absence" has been regarded as a treasure by readers for years, and it has been used at conferences, seminars, and in classrooms. The contributors -- artists, writers, poets, filmmakers, a photographer, a musician, and an actress -- have found a strong voice through their work, and their work has been both a life force and a lifesaver. The editor, too, is the daughter of Holocaust survivors...her parents survived Auschwitz. "Daughters of Absence" also includes a number of poignant photographs of family members.The contributors include Helen Epstein, author of "Children of the Holocaust"; Aviva Kempner, the filmmaker who produced "The Partisans of Vilna" and "The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg"; and Rosie Weisel, the Israeli graphic artist who is the editor's sister-in-law. The introduction is by Eva Fogelman, author of "Conscience & Courage: Rescuers of Jews during the Holocaust." "Mindy Weisel and the other daughters of Holocaust survivors have provided us with extraordinary insights. The solemn beauty of their sagas and the triumph over the past is a gift to their parents, who survived and rebuilt their lives, and to those millions who did not." -- Susan Tumarkin Goodman of the Jewish Museum New York "Each in her own genre, these 'daughters of absence' trace -- with great skill, great courage, and great candor -- their journey from a ghost-ridden past to a fulfilling present." -- Peter Novick, author of The Holocaust in America, professor of history at The University of ChicagoWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
