The memories also draw on inherited fragments of stories about relatives lost to the war whom she never met.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Eisenstein’s parents met in Auschwitz, near the end of the war and were married shortly after Liberation. The book began to take root in her imagination several years ago, almost a decade after her father’s death.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e With poignancy and searing honesty, Eisenstein explores with ineffable sadness and bittersweet humour her childhood growing up in the shadow of the Holocaust. But more than a book about the Holocaust and its far-reaching shadows, this moving, visually ravishing graphic memoir speaks universally about memory, loss, and recovery of the past.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e No one who sees this book will not be deeply affected by its beautiful, highly evocative writing and brilliantly original and haunting artwork created by the author. \u003ci\u003eI Was a Child of Holocaust Survivors\u003c\/i\u003e is destined to become a classic.","brand":"McClelland \u0026 Stewart","offers":[{"title":"Bargain","offer_id":42985813672016,"sku":"9780771030642B","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookoutlet.com\/fr\/products\/i-was-a-child-of-holocaust-survivors","provider":"Book Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
