(Brisk in Yiddish), which had numbered almost 30,000 people, was wiped out during the Holocaust, with only about 10 of its members surviving. One of them was Masza Pinczuk, who escaped from the Brze?? 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. 606 $aHolocaust survivors$zPoland$vBiography 606 $aHolocaust survivors 606 $aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)$zPoland 607 $aPoland 615 0$aHolocaust survivors 615 0$aHolocaust survivors. 615 0$aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) 676 $a940.5318092 700 $aGrol$b Regina$01654848 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910813378903321 996 $aSaving the tremors of past lives$94006930 997 $aUNINA
