The evocation of memory is wrought with emotional and historical
significance in this distinctive Holocaust memoir. With lyrical
prose and remarkable candor, Helena Ganor narrates her story
through a series of recently penned letters to the significant
people in her life during her wartime girlhood: her sister, mother,
father, and stepmother. Both Ganor's mother and sister perished
during the Holocaust. The author's letters reveal much about living
in pre-war Lvov, Poland, and its surrounding area. Her descriptions
of relationships between local Jews, Poles, Ukrainians, and Gypsies
in southeastern Poland lend a broad historical context to the
Holocaust. Ganor combines deeply personal reminiscences of
struggling as a Jewish child cast out alone to survive under Nazi
occupation with reflections on the varied ways that humans respond
to impending catastrophe. Punctuating her letters with poems,
Ganor's story is an inspiring contribution to Holocaust literature.
