Son of the Shoah: Poems from a Second-Generation Holocaust Survivor

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.

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.
