Journey Home
«
«The Journey Home is a poignant and timely reminder of the historical junction that has been reached with the first generation all but gone and the second feeling the urgency of putting pen to paper before it is too late. Profound, moving and essential, this collection is evidence of the rich and enriching range of voices able to evoke the struggles of ancestors, while bringing to the surface inter-generational perspectives that reveal so much about the connections between past and present.» (Nick Barlay, author of Scattered Ghosts: One Family’s Survival through War, Holocaust and Revolution)
«The loss of home, or more precisely, the loss of a place where you belonged to the human world, was perhaps the most long-lasting and pernicious effect of the Nazi destruction of the European Jews. No wonder then that the search for whatever remnants of it that can be salvaged will continue for generations.» (Göran Rosenberg, author of A Brief Stop on the Road from Auschwitz)
«From heart-breaking to humorous, these stories of resilience and longing remain with the reader long after finishing the book. Tales of inherited grief and belated understanding, inherent in the second-generation predicament, provide a form of literary witnessing to the re-creation of intergenerational connections to places and people.» (Ruth Mandel, Professor of Anthropology at University College London)
