Mira Hamermesh is an award-winning film maker, painter and writer.
This moving memoir gives a vivid account of her remarkable life. As
a young Jewish teenager Hamermesh escaped the horrors of
German-occupied Poland and was spared the experience of the ghetto
and the concentration camp that claimed most of her family. Mira
shows how her status as a refugee has continued to influence her
throughout her life. The journey led her across Europe and
eventually to Palestine in 1941; her account of that region, before
the establishment of Israel, provides a fascinating insight into
the historical setting for today's conflict. Having settled in
London where she studied art and married, she eventually won a
place at the celebrated Polish Film School in Lodz. At the height
of the Cold War Mira Hamermesh commuted across the Iron Curtain -
her experience of a divided Europe offers many insights into the
political factors that affected people's everyday lives. Mira's
theme of political conflict, so often explored in her films, is
brought to life here in an intimate account that will live long in
the memory.
