Book Reviews of After Long Silence

Excellently written,This book keeps you hooked from beginning to end ,but it seems like there are alot of loose endz but I guess there probably would be considering the circumstances.

this was a very good story about how a jewish family even after all these yrs still hide the fact that their jewish. afraid another holocoust could happen anywhere anytime.

This woman's experience finding out about her hidden Jewish heritage was interesting, enjoyable to read, and felt personal. She has a way of bring the reader into the story and making you feel the emotions she felt.

Amazing story! I could not put this book down.

Very compelling. EXCELLENT. Thought provoking.

Helen Fremont was raised as a Roman Catholic. It wasn't until she was an adult, practicing law in Boston, that she discovered her parents were Jewish--Holocaust survivors living invented lives. Not even their names were their own. A powerful memoir. Two sisters piece together the painful story.

Good book. A little slow at times.

I really liked this nonfiction book. It took me a while to get in to, but once I did, I could hardly put it down.

Helen and her sister, born in the 50's to a catholic family trace their family history only to find out both their mother and father were Jewish holocaust survivors. They did not even know their parents real names and both mom and dad were tight lipped and refused to give them solid information. The books shares the hidden secrets of their families roots. I loved this book.

veri interesting and valuable memoir.a must read.

Helen Fremont was raised a Roman Catholic. It wasn't until she was an adult, practicing law in Boston, that she discovered her parents were Jewish--Holocaust survivors living invented lives. Not even their names were their own.

Driven to uncover their roots, Fremont and her sister pieced together an astonishing story: of Siberian Gulags and Italian royalty, of concentration camps and buried lives.

Helen Fremont and her sister search for information regarding their jewish past. It was interesting how this family was able to hide their identities for over fifty years. I still don't quite understand their thinking and the neccesity in doing this. I found the author's parents especially the mother strange and very hard on her daughter. It was a good book and very different from other holocust experiences.

excellent book

Excellent book, hard to put down.

A memoir of the family of two Jews who did what they had to in order to survive WWII.
