A second-generation Holocaust memoir that braids together Jennifer's story of growing up outside of Rochester, New York, the only Jewish person in her high school, with her father's — a German Jewish child of cattle dealers sent to Belgium just after Kristallnacht. Jennifer’s voice is funny and touching. Jennifer's journey helps the reader find truth and meaning in the Holocaust legacy. |
An emotional and necessary intergenerational story about the way the traumas of war, loss, and grief are passed down through a family.
