Product Description
In Mamaleh: A Legacy of Loss and Love, Elaine Culbertson has created a new kind of Holocaust survivor story. It is a memoir that combines both her mother, Dora Freilich's, personal recollections of her life as a survivor as well as her own reflections on growing up in a family that had experienced the trauma of the Holocaust. Dora's survival of two full years in Auschwitz was indeed a miracle, but her beautifully expressed memories of that time as well as the life that she and her husband built in America are miracles as well.
In this sometimes startling, sometimes funny, but always poignant memoir, the reader will be immersed in a family that experienced the challenges of survival, immigration, and assimilation as told in the words of a mother and daughter who came from two different worlds but who forged a relationship based on love and respect.
