Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

Eva Fogelman psychologist and author of "Conscience and Courage" Joseph Berger follows in the tradition of Frank McCourt in being a master storyteller. He recounts a story that is both tragic and uplifting. His journalistic eye for detail will make the reader cry, laugh, and never forget his family's saga. For readers, Berger's account will resonate, no matter how they feel displaced. At last we have a second generation voice of Holocaust refugees that defies stereotypes.

Reseña del editor:

An account of how one family of Polish Jews, with one son born at the close of World War II and the other son born in a "displaced persons" camp on the margins of Berlin, narrowly survived Hitler's atrocities and managed to emerge anew amid the bewildering landscape of Manhattan's Upper West Side and the Bronx in the 1950s and 1960s. Joseph Berger recreates his parent's experiences in light of his own childhood among refugees in America. He illuminates the plight of 140,000 refugees who came to America between 1947 and 1953, through the eyes of a young boy. The book captures the poignant shading, the telling minutae and the stubborn intractability of displaced life.
