Survivor Café: The Legacy of Trauma and the Labyrinth of Memory by Elizabeth Rosner

4.0

This is a very unusual book almost dont know how to review it. It is about trauma and memory and the main focus is the Jewish People and she is Jewish. She has a very close relationship w her parents and her mother died. Both are survivors of the murderous brutal monstrous Nazis. Mother was not in a camp and her father was at very young age in Buchenwald. The book is about these happenings in modern day Germany to remember Buchenwald and the nazi era yet Im not sure how solid is the intention of the german people about this.
Elizabeth also talks about other horrendous killings in countries and its effect on the people.
As I think about the book what I "remember" most is she is talking about the memory of the survivors and what happens when there is no longer anyone who remembers.
There are no answers here no solutions just a presenting
