Description
A haunting tale of memory, loss, and the enduring search for identity in the wake of the Holocaust.
Young Albert Weiss is spared the horrors of Auschwitz when his parents throw him and his brother from a transport train. Years later, with the help of other survivors, he explores confronting the evil that robbed him of his childhood, and the guilt he feels for losing his brother.
Mosaic and semi-autobiographical, this book documents the stories of child survivors, a moving and necessary addition to Holocaust literature. For readers of Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-Five and the works of Primo Levi, The House of Remembering and Forgetting explores the complexities of memory, identity, and the enduring power of the human spirit. Discover a story of survival, redemption, and the search for meaning in the face of unimaginable loss.
