The Jewish Book Festival presents Sons of Survivors: Making Peace with Inherited Trauma with Aron Hirt-ManheimerTwo lifelong friends uncover their families’ long-hidden Holocaust history, confronting silence, reclaiming memory, transforming inherited trauma into a powerful legacy of love.The authors of this dual memoir were conceived in the same Displaced Persons camp in occupied Germany, and grew up in the close-knit community of Yiddish-speaking refugees in America.
Though the Holocaust formed the backdrop of their lives, they didn’t talk much about it - until, as older adults, they embraced the imperative to bear witness, and set out to discover everything that happened to their families in Poland. Navigating through this haunted terrain, the friends realized that the love they inherited from their parents transcends the trauma.Aron Hirt-Manheimer was described by Elie Wiesel as "a writer possessed of a rare blend of integrity, persuasiveness, and good literary sense." He is the author of several history books, founder of the Davka magazine, and editor of the Reform Judaism magazine.
Books will be available for sale and signing by the author.
