Sinopse
Características

Biography and Memory discusses the return of Jews to their places of birthin Poland. A biographical urge to come full circle often leads to symbolicjourneys to ones roots, but in the case of Shoah survivors, such journeys areunexpected. They defy the generational definition of their biography, whichmostly draws a line of demarcation between wartime trauma and post-Holocaustlife. Analyzed biographical stories collected from Israeli survivors indicatethat such returns may be considered the last chapters of the survivorswartime experiences. Survivors biographies are examined in the context ofboth Jewish and Polish memory. This book will be of interest to sociologists,historians, and general readers.
