It wasn't until she was an adult, practicing law in Boston, she discovered her parents were Jewish--Holocaust survivors living invented lives. Not even their names were their own. In this powerful memoir, Helen Fremont delves into the secrets that held her family in a bond of silence for more than four decades, recounting heartbreaking clarity a remarkable tale of survival, avivid as fiction but with a resonance of truth. Driven to uncover their roots, Fremont and her sister pieced together an astonishing story: of Siberian Gulags & Italian royalty, of concentration camps & buried lives. Silences about the devastating price of hiding the truth; about families; about the steps we take, foolish or wise, to protect ourselves and our loved ones. No one who reads this book can be unmoved, or fail to understand the seductive, damaging power of secrets. see pictures maybe this will do it maybe it won't. you'll know by looking at the pictures, I try to note all defects, so you can make an informed buying decision...
