The Jewish community of the Polish border town of Brzesc (Brisk in
Yiddish), which had numbered almost 30,000 people, was wiped out
during the Holocaust, with only about 10 of its members surviving.
One of them was Masza Pinczuk, who escaped from the Brzesc ghetto
on the eve of its liquidation on Oct.15, 1942. Her future husband
succeeded in escaping from the Warsaw ghetto. They were the sole
survivors of their respective families, and in this volume their
daughter, Regina Grol, shares their story and meditates on the
legacy of the Holocaust, exploring the lingering impact of the
Holocaust on the following generations. Based on interviews and
letters, and checked against historical facts, the book includes
supporting documents and photographs. It also contains an account
of the author's "internal flanerie" (to use Walter Benjamin's
term), i.e., a retrospective and introspective look at her own life
as a child of Holocaust survivors.
