Publisher's summary

Rena Lipiner Katz grew up in the shadow of the Holocaust, believing that the price of her parents’ survival and her own birth was a life of sorrow and guilt. Lipiner Katz explores how her parents’ childhood trauma affected her emotionally and physiologically.

Determined to forge a life separate from the legacy of the Holocaust, Lipiner Katz had to first understand how her parents’ experiences during the war impacted her world view, her relationships, and the myriad of choices she made as a child, wife, mother, and wife again. Through her journey as a second-generation Holocaust survivor, she ultimately found a life that is free of inherited pain and full of meaning and love.

From her struggles to unravel and leave behind the trauma of the past, Rena’s story reveals universal truths that will resound in the listener's mind long after.

Thank you for your strength to write this book. As I am doing my own research for my own book, I learned so much. May we all preserve our stories for the world to learn. Toda Rabah.

It’s my story as well

Our inherited horrors very well explained. Our feelings are very real, it’s nice that at 70 years old I finally feel that I am not alone. Thank you for this amazing rendition of our lives. How hate lives on!!!
