Inhaltsangabe
In the face of tremendous uncertainty about the future, about freedom, about life itself, Noemi’s mother and father must each make gravely consequential choices at many forks in the road, both literal and figurative. And later, Noemi herself must do the same.
This bravely honest twenty-year family history, set in the most turbulent of times, is carefully placed in historical context. And it benefits the reader with a veteran clinical psychologist’s insights.
The ultimate triumphs are a direct consequence of devotion, resourcefulness, wisdom, determination, and resilience...
In the late 1990s, Dr. Noemi Ebenstein attended the annual conference of the American Group Psychotherapy Association, as she had done for many years. In the course of one session’s exercise in retrieving early memories, she was overwhelmed by her earliest memory as a very young child: standing barefoot on a hard wooden floor, shivering in the freezing cold.
A man in uniform is screaming at her: “Raus! Raus! Raus!” As furious winter winds howl, he forces her out of the barrack into the snow. She looks down and realizes she is wearing only her underwear.
And thus begins a unique saga...
Noemi became determined to tell the stories of her early life: those of her mother, her father, and her own. With rare foresight, she kept comprehensive diaries, and later, before their deaths, recorded lengthy interviews with her mother and father. She has woven these rich resources together to produce this unusual memoir. Unusual, because Noemi uses her psychological insights in trying to understand the motivations of the very many different people she encounters while growing up. And in understanding the often-astonishing decisions made by her parents in order to survive, and to save her, against all odds.
