Eliora Books A Silence That Speaks
Book SynopsisRemarkable story recounting the author's 18-year search for the truth of what happened to her mother's Viennese Jewish family during the Second World War. She also digs deep into her family's history, a journey which took her back 200 years and across four continents, and explores the impact that these events had on subsequent generations.Trade Review"In this remarkable book, Susan... was able to give names to the nameless, faces to the faceless - and restore the wholeness of a family the Nazis had intended to destroy.... It restores life where there was death, presence where there was absence, roots where identity was lost, hope where there was despair." Stephen Smith, Executive Director of the Shoah Foundation Institute, writing in his Foreword to the book.Table of ContentsFamily Tree: The Descendants of Josef and Cacilie Smetana; Foreword By Stephen D.
