{"product_id":"flares-of-memory-stories-of-childhood-during-the-holocaust-9780195156270","title":"Flares of Memory: Stories of Childhood During the Holocaust","description":"In a series of writing workshops at the Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh, survivors who were children or teens during World War II assembled to remember the pivotal moments in which their lives were irreparably changed by the Nazis. These flares of memory preserve the voices of over forty Jews\u003cbr\u003efrom throughout Europe who experienced a history that cannot be forgotten.\u003cbr\u003e Ninety-two brief vignettes arranged both chronologically and thematically recreate the disbelief and chaos that ensued as families were separated, political rights were abolished, and synagogues and Jewish businesses were destroyed. Survivors remember the daily humiliation, the quiet heroes\u003cbr\u003eamong their friends, and the painful abandonment by neighbors as Jews were restricted to ghettos, forced to don yellow stars, and loaded like cattle into trains. Vivid memories of hunger, disease, and a daily existence dependent on cruel luck provide penetrating testimonies to the ruthlessness of\u003cbr\u003ethe Nazi killing machine, yet they also bear witness to the resilience and fortitude of individual souls bombarded by evil.\u003cbr\u003e I don't think that there will be many readers who will be able to put this book down.--Jerome Chanes, National Foundation for Jewish Culture\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anita Brostoff\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/21\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.36h x 6.10w x 1.06d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780195156270\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnita Brostoff\u003c\/strong\u003e is a retired Carnegie-Mellon University professor and consultant in communications who has specialized in teaching and research in writing in areas ranging from fiction to business and technical writing.
