I Was a Child of Holocaust Survivors,
by Bernice Eisenstein
This is a different
type of book, but one that is interesting and very insightful into the life of
a child of parents who survived the Holocaust. Eisenstein is not only an
author but an artist. Her book's narrative captures the torments her parents
suffered during the Holocaust and how she, as a child, tried to understand
this dark history in her parents lives. Her drawings in the book illustrate
many of the torments and enduring effects of the Holocaust in her family's
life. Yet, her story has a strong emotional pull as she writes very lovingly
about not only her parents, but her extended family of aunts, uncles and
cousins. For those readers interested in this topic, this book is strongly
recommended.
