One of them was Masza Pinczuk, who escaped from the Brześć ghetto on the eve of its liquidation on Oct.15, 1942. Her future husband succeeded in escaping from the Warsaw ghetto. They were the sole survivors of their respective families, and in this volume their daughter, Regina Grol, shares their story and meditates on the legacy of the Holocaust, exploring the lingering impact of the Holocaust on the following generations. Based on interviews and letters, and checked against historical facts, the book includes supporting documents and photographs. It also contains an account of the author's "internal flanerie" (to use Walter Benjamin's term), i.e., a retrospective and introspective look at her own life as a child of Holocaust survivors.Holocaust survivorsHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) -- PolandPinczuk, MaszaPolandElectronic books.Holocaust survivors.Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) -- Poland.Pinczuk, Masza.Poland.940.5318092Grol Reginaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut.1045484DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910464925203321Saving the Tremors of Past Lives2471806UNINA
