JUST AS AMAZING IS THE SURVIVAL OF WOMEN REMOVED FROM HIS LIST.
Blay juxtaposes her own questing for identity as the child of a generation of Jews whose lives were riven by their experiences, and unflinchingly raises a number of ethical questions about this. She writes with great sensitivity about the political and emotional scars sustained by the children of Holocaust survivors, but contextualises these alongside the harrowing memories of her mother and aunt.
This is compelling and radical biography, melded with insightful and disturbing questions about nationality, identity and that which we inherit from our parents. It traces the extraordinary and fractured experience of a sun-imbued suburban Australian upbringing, with the often erased and concealed atrocities inflecting it.
