Description

After the death of her mother, Helen Epstein set to research and reconstruct the life of her mother and that of her grandmother and great-grandmother.

Like so many children of Holocaust survivors and other people displaced by the catastrophes of the twentieth century, she had few family documents, only stories.

She travelled to Czechoslovakia, Austria, and Israel, searching out people who had known her family and locating material in libraries and archives on three continents.

Using her journalistic training, and working like an archaeologist with shards of data, she pieced together an account of the lives of the women in her family and the social history of Central European Jews.
