Read in February, 2014

One of a plethora of books by the children of Holocaust survivors now being published in the Kindle format and offered as specials. But this one is different. It is not so much a story of the Holocaust as the story of the life of Sidonia and her daughter (the author) born in a DP camp following liberation, and after they immigrate to the US. It is an interesting story of survival and and the complex relationship between the daughter and mother. A story that Oprah or Dr. Phil would probably ruin, but one the author tells in a compelling manner and one that leaves you with great admiration for the humanity of Sidonia and the love of her and her daughter for each other.
