{"product_id":"a-legacy-of-love-and-strength","title":"A Legacy of Love and Strength","description":"\u003cp\u003eMy intention in writing this book is not to present an academic history of the Holocaust, but rather to share what I learned directly from my parentsÑinsights that were, at best, glimpses compared to what I later uncovered through my own research and reading. My mother, for example, never spoke about the profound dehumanization that began with the establishment of the ghetto: the strict laws displayed on placards, posted on every dwelling, and the suffocating enclosure itself. Was her silence a way of protecting herself from the memory, or was it because what followed in Auschwitz was even worse? Perhaps she simply didnÕt want me to know. Regardless, I eventually came to understandÑand to recognizeÑthe true depth of her inner strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eI have witnessed the same strength from my father, otherwise always the tight-lipped, thoughtful man, when he broke down while telling me some of the family stories. He has been grieving for a lifetime quietly for his parents, my sister and other lost relatives. Yet, with my mother, they rebuilt their lives three times., Holocaust, Auschwitz, memoir, immigration, America, family, Susan Simpson Geroe| 9781257955091 | 158PAGES\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Susan Simpson Geroe","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46768193929377,"sku":"9781257955091","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0462\/1120\/3233\/files\/dy6k7e6-front-shortedge-384.jpg?v=1785206860","url":"https:\/\/bookswholesale.myshopify.com\/products\/a-legacy-of-love-and-strength","provider":"BooksWholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
