This book explores the strategies of self-preservation and inter-generational encounters among six Holocaust survivors from a single extended family through a narrative analysis of their memoirs. By examining resilience in child development, it sheds light on the diverse experiences of the Holocaust era and traces the remarkable global diaspora that emerged. The author argues that studying historical narratives can enhance our understanding of the internal lives of contemporary young refugees and survivors of violent conflict. Additionally, the book delves into the socio-politics of narrative and memory, exploring how children of Holocaust survivors can honor the past while engaging with contemporary concerns in a meaningful way.

Through the lens of studying resilience in child development, this book describes the striking diversity of holocaust-era experiences and traces the arc of a remarkable global diaspora. Birnbaum argues that stories from the past can enhance understanding of the internal lives of today's young refugees and survivors of violent conflict. Exploring the socio-politics of narrative and memory, this book considers the ways that children of holocaust survivors may honor the past while also allowing a new generation to engage family history in a conversation with contemporary concerns.
