As the Nazis closed in on a war-torn Czechoslovakia, only letters from their extended family could reach Canada through the barriers of conflict. The Waldstein family received these letters as they made their lives on a southern Ontario farm, where they learned to be Canadian and forget their Jewish roots. Helen Waldstein read these letters as an adult--this changed everything. As her past refused to keep silent, Helen followed the trail of the letters back to Europe, where she discovered living witnesses who could attest to the letters' contents. She has here interwoven their stories and her own into a compelling narrative of suffering, survivor guilt, and overcoming intergenerational obstacles when exploring a traumatic past."--Publisher's description Waldstein Wilkes, Helen / 1936- Waldstein Wilkes, Helen / 1936- / Famille Waldstein Wilkes, Helen 1936- Family Waldstein Wilkes, Helen 1936- Geschichte 1939-1945 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1939-2006 gnd rswk-swf History Juifs / République tchèque / Prague / Biographies Holocauste, 1939-1945 / République tchèque / Récits personnels Juifs / République tchèque / Prague / Correspondance Juifs / Canada / Biographies BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Historical bisacsh HISTORY / Holocaust bisacsh Geschichte Juden Judenvernichtung Jews Czech Republic Prague Biography Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) Czech Republic Personal narratives Jews Czech Republic Prague Correspondence Jews Canada Biography Juden (DE-588)4028808-0 gnd rswk-swf Judenverfolgung (DE-588)4028814-6 gnd rswk-swf Kanada Tschechische Republik Kanada (DE-588)4029456-0 gnd rswk-swf Prag (DE-588)4076310-9 gnd rswk-swf (DE-588)4006804-3 Biografie gnd-content Prag (DE-588)4076310-9 g Juden (DE-588)4028808-0 s Kanada (DE-588)4029456-0 g Geschichte 1939-2006 z 1\p DE-604 Judenverfolgung (DE-588)4028814-6 s Geschichte 1939-1945 z 2\p DE-604 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe, Paperback 978-1-897425-53-4 http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=320873 Aggregator Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
