It opens with the horrifying moment in July 1942 when the author’s father, the rabbi of a small synagogue, was dragged by police from the family home on Rue Ordener in Paris, then transported to Auschwitz—“the place,” writes Kofman, “where no eternal rest would or could ever be granted.” It ends in the mid-1950s, when Kofman enrolled at the Sorbonne. The book is as eloquent as it is forthright. Kofman recalls her father and family in the years before the war, then turns to the terrors and confusions of her own childhood in Paris during the German occupation. Not long after her father’s disappearance, Kofman and her mother took refuge in the apartment of a Christian woman on Rue Labat, where they remained until the Liberation. This bold woman, whom Kofman called Mémé, undoubtedly saved the young girl and her mother from the death camps. But Kofman’s close attachment to Mémé also resulted in a rupture between mother and child that was never to be fully healed. This slender volume is distinguished by the author’s clear prose, the carefully recounted horrors of her childhood, and the uncommon poise that came to her only with the passage of many years.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 191mmItem Length: 114mmItem Weight: 113gAuthor: Sarah KofmanTranslator: Ann SmockContributor: Ann Smock (Introduction by), Ann Smock (Translated by)Genre: Literary CriticismBook Series: StagesTopic: FictionRelease Year: 1996 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
