Daughters of Absence: Transforming a Legacy of Loss

Now in paperback – the book that Susan Tumarkin Goodman of the Jewish Museum New York “Mindy Weisel and the other daughters of Holocaust survivors have provided us with extraordinary insights. “The solemn beauty of their sagas and the triumph over the past is a gift to their parents, who survived and rebuilt their lives, and to those millions who did not.” Peter Novick, author of The Holocaust in America, professor of history at The University of Chicago, described it “Each in her own genre, these ‘daughters of absence’ trace – with great skill, great courage, and great candor – their journey from a ghost-ridden past to a fulfilling present.”
