Description
In Inheriting the Holocaust, Paula S. Fass explores her own past as the daughter of Holocaust survivors to reflect on the nature of history and memory. Her journey through time and relationships begins when she travels to Poland and locates birth certificates of the murdered siblings she never knew. Recovering her family's story provides Fass with ever more evidence for the perplexing reliability of memory, its winding path toward historical reconstruction, and a re-imagining of the role Jews played in Poland's past.
