Description

"In Inheriting the Holocaust, Paula S. Fass explores her own past as the daughter of Holocaust survivors. Reflecting on the relationship between history and memory, she recounts stories her parents told her and tries to fill in the blanks through her skills as a storyteller, professional historian, and researcher." "Fass begins her journey through time and relationships when she travels to Poland and locates birth certificates of the murdered siblings she never knew. That journey to recover her family's story provides her with ever more evidence for the perplexing reliability of memory and its winding path toward historical reconstruction. In the end, Fass recovers parts of her family's history only to discover that Poland is rapidly re-imagining the role Jews played in the nation's past."--BOOK JACKET.
