Displaced Persons Growing Up American After the Holocaust
Author: Joseph Berger
"Although I may not have been able to articulate it, I already felt these alien streets would be a trial, filled with unfamiliar faces and unfamiliar tongues. How could I make a friend when I didn't even speak English? How could I understand a teacher or classmate? And how could I rely on my perplexed, frightened parents to help me cope?"...  more »

Having read many books about the Holocaust, I was drawn to Berger's "Displaced Persons Growing Up American..", as there are few books devoted to the acculturation of Holocaust survivors in America. The psychology of "chronic sorrow" as a result of having lost so many loved ones is revealed in the day to day lives of Berger's hard-working family. So much was never explained to him, and it took maturation and research to be able to write eloquently about his family's trials and tribulations as Jews during World War II. His childhood is revealed within the context of a family who has to "re-create" an extended family in America. I loved the book. CPeyton
