This well-written and engaging family memoir is an important contribution to the growing number of books concerning the Holocaust in the East. Maksim Goldenshteyn, a second-generation descendant of Holocaust survivors, embeds personal--at times gripping--family accounts within a broader historical context. In the process he explores the complexities and contradictions that defined camp and ghetto experiences, how survivors remember such events, and underscores both the suffering and brutality, as well as the resilience and resistance of Jews struggling to survive against all odds. --Barbara Rylko-Bauer, author of A Polish Doctor in the Nazi Camps: My Mother's Memories of Imprisonment, Immigration, and a Life Remade
