Son of the Shoah : poems from a second-generation Holocaust survivor: poems from a second-generation Holocaust survivor

"In this book of poetry, Martin Herskovitz, the son of Holocaust survivors, manifests a language of remembrance that describes not the desolation and destruction, but rather the possibility of grieving, of finding compassion and healing. It is a language that evokes the trauma of the Shoah but also allows its processing. Eighty years after the Holocaust, the landscape of Holocaust memory is shifting and is in many ways being forgotten. This work is the Holocaust survivor testimonies reimagined. It is a new Holocaust narrative which both reinvigorates and brings a new relevance to Holocaust remembrance."-- Provided by publisher.
