Even as the Holocaust grows more distant with the passing of time,
its traumas call out to be known and understood. What is
remembered, what has been imparted through German heritage, and
what has been forgotten? Can familiar family stories be transformed
into an understanding of the Holocaust's forbidding reality? Author
Roger Frie is uniquely positioned to answer these questions. As the
son of Germans who were children during World War II, and with
grandparents who were participants in the War, he uses the history
of his family as a guide to explore the psychological and moral
implications of memory against the backdrop of one of humanity's
darkest periods. From his perspective of a life lived across German
and Jewish contexts, Frie explores what it means to discover the
legacy of a Nazi past. Beginning with the narrative of his
grandfather, he shows how the transfer of memory from one German
generation to the next keeps the Holocaust at bay. Not in My Family
is rich with poignant illustration: Frie beautifully combines his
own story with the stories of others, perpetrators and survivors,
and the generations that came after. As a practicing
psychotherapist he also draws on his own experience of working with
patients whose lives have been directly and indirectly shaped by
the Holocaust. Throughout, Frie proceeds with a level of frankness
and honesty that invites readers to reflect on their own histories
and to understand the lasting effects of historical traumas into
the present.
