    About this ebook

    Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

    #1 I am the offspring of Holocaust survivors, which means there is a tragic and complicated history. I grew up surrounded by ghosts, but I didn’t know about the name of the person closest to me who was killed in the Holocaust.

    #2 I have spent my life trying to excavate the memories that elude me. I have a collection of glass jars that contain slivers of memory from all over the world. Memories aren’t static; they change with time.

    #3 I have a great responsibility to keep the past alive, and I do this by taking care of my family’s photographs and documents. I have memories of my parents’ Holocaust experiences, and I can’t bring myself to use the common euphemism perished.

    #4 I began working on genealogy websites, and in 2009, I traveled to Ukraine to find the family that had hidden my father during the war. I wanted to know about my sister. I wanted to know about my father.
