The book documents the author?s personal journey as she uncovers her mother?s past through their correspondence and discussion and through research in the Netherlands. Motherlode also considers mother?daughter relationships and the effect of wartime on motherhood.Motherlode is not about recording precise historical data; rather, it attempts to recover and interpret the complex emotions of the individuals growing up in wartime. The book is based on interviews with the author?s mother and other Dutch Canadians, interviews with and letters from Canadian Jewish war veterans, and information provided by individuals with direct or indirect experience of the Dutch Resistance. The creative pieces explore onderduik (going into/being in hiding), life in an occupied country, the work of the Dutch Resistance, liberation, collective and individual cultural memory, and the way in which wartime childhoods shaped adulthood for these individuals. 410 0$aLife writing series. 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$vPersonal narratives, Dutch$vLiterary collections 607 $aNetherlands$xHistory$yGerman occupation, 1940-1945$vLiterary collections 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945 676 $a940.5337 700 $aVan Der Meer$b Carolyne A.$f1968-,$0989794 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910154966703321 996 $aMotherlode$92263958 997 $aUNINA
