Her first conscious recollection of life goes back to 1942, when as a young child she escaped to Sweden, a neutral country during World War II, to avoid annihilation. Germany had invaded Norway and the persecution of two thousand Norwegian Jews had begun. Seven members of her father''s family were among the seven hundred and seventy-one unfortunate persons who were deported and sent to Auschwitz.In 2005, Irene was forced to examine the label of being a Holocaust survivor. Her strong dual identity as a Norwegian and a Jew led her to explore previously unopened doors in her mind. This is not a narrative of the Holocaust alone, but the remembrance of growing up Jewish in Norway during and after WWII. In addition to the richness of both her Norwegian and Jewish cultures, she ultimately acquired yet another identity as an American.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments Introduction: Why Norway Wasn't Too Small Chapter 1: The Escape Chapter 2: Refugees in Exile Chapter 3: Those Who Came First - The Levin Family Chapter 4: Those Who Came First - The Selikowitz Family Chapter 5: The Family that 'Disappeared' Chapter 6: War and Holocaust Chapter 7: The Silence Chapter 8: Return from Exile Chapter 9: Learning How to be a Norwegian Jew Chapter 10: On Marrying a Jew Chapter 11: Life in America Chapter 12: The Myth about the Danish King Chapter 13: Identity Chapter 14: The Journey Into the Past","brand":"Hamilton Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51037854728535,"sku":"9780761850403","price":70.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780761850403.jpg?v=1750937847","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/we-are-going-to-pick-potatoes-9780761850403","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
