Son of the Shoah

<p> In this book of poetry Martin Herskovitz the son of Holocaust survivors manifests a language of remembrance that describes not the desolation and destruction but rather the possibility of grieving of finding compassion and healing. It is a language that evokes the trauma of the Shoah but also allows its processing.</p><p> After eighty years the landscape of Holocaust memory is shifting and in many ways slipping away. As a second generation survivor testimony this work represents a new narrative which both reinvigorates and brings a new relevance to Holocaust remembrance.</p>
