| Summary: |
Deploying concepts of interpretation, liberation, and survival, esteemed literary critic Herbert Lindenberger parallels the history of the Holocaust with his own coming to terms with his family's fate. Moving, painful, and uplifting, "One Family's Shoah" records the diverse fates experienced by descendants of a once-prominent Berlin businessman, Isaak Lindenberger - fates that include deportation to Theresienstadt and Auschwitz, execution for participating in anti-Nazi sabotage, a miraculous escape from Denmark to Sweden, and, for a lucky few, emigration to safe countries before World War II began. Public, family, and personal record are viewed through the lens of literary, musical, and art criticism, as "One Family's Shoah" suggests a new way of writing cultural history. |
