This newly revised 2013 edition of Roth's book records the
compassionately-told story of a father beaten to death in the
Sachsenhausen concentration camp, and the subsequent flight of a
mother and her daughters from Berlin to Belgium, France and Italy.
The book also charts their escape to Palestine in 1945, assisted by
soldiers of the Jewish Brigade. Parts II and III of the book
ingeniously use interviews, diary entries and psychological
analysis to reveal how each generation has passed on memories of
the War and the Shoah to the next. Readers will be transported by
the vivid historical account of fleeing the Nazis: scrambling on
foot up the Alps, hiding in primitive stone cavas and living as
shadows in empty apartments. Psychology students and enthusiasts
will gain an invaluable perspective on the intergenerational
transmission of traumatic memories. Roth asserts that Holocaust
memories engender values, ideals, and beliefs, just as trauma can
engender vitality and hope. Those learning about the Holocaust will
find in this book both an intimate depiction of the trauma endured
by Jews during World War II, and its ramifications in the present
day. Finally, this work speaks to the remaining survivor
generations who struggle with issues of Holocaust transmission,
wondering about the value, necessity and manner in which Holocaust
memories are handed down. Previously published by academic
publisher Palgrave Macmillan, this newly revised 2013 edition makes
The Fate of Holocaust Memories available for the first time in an
affordably-priced quality paperback format.
