Description
Sydney Morning Herald Best Young Australian Novelist Alice Nelson provides the introductory essay for After This, a powerful collection of narratives by fourteen Holocaust survivors. Alice worked closely with local survivors and their families to present each individual's record of those terrible years - stories like that of Rosa Levy, whose tale of moving to Australia after the war is one of quiet triumph.
