Overview
A haunting memoir of war, genocide, displacement, and a daughterās search for the literary works of her motherās murdered twin.
Grieving the death of her mother in 2013, author Isa Milman embarked on a heart-wrenching journey to unravel a family mysteryāthe whereabouts of her auntās long-lost poems, published in Poland in the early 1930sāwhich evolved into a broader investigation of her familyās life before, during, and after the Holocaust. This powerful memoir chronicles a lesser-known chapter of the Second World War through the story of two sisters: Sabina, Isaās mother, who survived the war, and Basia, Sabinaās twin, who did not.
Exploring themes of loss and displacement, regeneration and resilience, Isa discovers how her own story is woven into the immense yet intricate tapestry of the Jewish experience. As she delves into her familyās history, accompanied by her husband, a native British Columbian, she travels to contemporary Poland, Ukraine, and Germany, and tries to reconcile her shifting appreciation of people and place, in a world where anti-Semitism and other forms of extremism are on the rise once again.
