Holocaust Story March 12, 2023

The story of suffering, sacrifice and survival of my parents and grandparents and its impact on the second generation

After Mama reluctantly allowed us to record her testimony, I transcribed her words and published it in the book: A HOLOCAUST MEMOIR OF LOVE & RESILIENCE: MAMA’S SURVIVAL FROM LITHUANIA TO AMERICA.

This book is a double memoir – the story of my parents survival from the Holocaust, and the impact it has had on me, the second generation. The recent research on inter-generational transmission of trauma has validated what many descendants have known their entire lives – we, too, were affected by the Holocaust.

As a second generation, I have devoted my time to educating youth and adults worldwide about the micro-history of two families, within the macro history of Europe during the years 1933-1950.
