Loss, Love And Lessons Learned: The Story Of Willy And Esther - 9781953728166

TThis deeply arresting family memoir pays homage to its author's parents and the resilience they displayed both during the Holocaust and afterward. It recounts their family origins; how his father was able to survive the Nazi's death and concentration camps; and how his mother, at a young age, took care of her even younger siblings while they were being hidden in a Belgian convent/orphanage. "It also describes," writes Ervi Farkas, "how my parents were able to embrace both love and life after enduring the most trying and brutal circumstances imaginable." The book is a tribute as well to his grandparents and other relatives who survived the Holocaust and then went on to build successful lives and loving relationships in the decades that followed. Finally, it is the story of growing up as the child of Holocaust survivors and the lessons learned from that experience. "I hope this memoir inspires my children, grandchildren and their children," Farkas writes, "and leaves them with greater insight into our family's courageous history."
