Through personal stories and in-depth interviews, Rich examines the complicated relationship between history, truth, and memory. Keepers of Memory explores topics that include how stories of survival become stories of either empowerment or trauma for the descending generations, career choice as a form of commemoration, religion, and family life. Ultimately, this work paints a compelling picture of the promises and pitfalls of memory and points to implications for memory and commemoration in the coming generations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJennifer Rich has opened up an entire new area of scholarly inquiry into the problem of transmitting memory over the generations as the Holocaust recedes into history. Elie Wiesel and Primo Levi have described the Holocaust as a war against memory. Rich has provided us with a means of responding to that assault. This is indeed a profoundly important book. -- David Patterson, Ackerman Center for Holocaust Studies, University of Texas at Dallas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction  Part I  Chapter 1: Understanding My Role  Chapter 2: Holocaust Memory in Society  Part II  Chapter 3: Storytelling, Silences, and Dreams  Chapter 4: The Inheritance and Ownership of Memory  Chapter 5: Religion and Family Life  Chapter 6: Commemoration  Conclusion","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51040848740695,"sku":"9781498586641","price":72.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781498586641.jpg?v=1750948049","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/keepers-of-memory-9781498586641","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
