In the Crook of the Rock : Jewish Refuge in a World Gone Mad - The Chaya Leah Walkin Story PDF
by Vera Schwarcz
Part of the Jewish Identities in Post-Modern Society series
Description
Focusing upon the life of Chaya Walkin-one little girl from a distinguished Torah lineage in Poland-this book illustrates the inner resources of the refugee community that made possible survival with dignity. Based on a wide variety of sources and languages, this book is crafted around the voice of a child who was five years old when she was forced to flee her home in Poland and start the terrifying journey to Vilna, Kobe, and Shanghai. <em>The Song of Songs </em>is used to provide an unexpected and poetic angle of vision upon strategies for creating meaning in times of historical trauma.
