Summary:

In his memoir as "...one of the last Jewish infants conceived in Vienna as it once had been," Price (global communications studies, U. of Pennsylvania; media and communications studies, Central European U.) traces his family's flight to the US as refugees from Nazi Austria. He discusses resettlement agencies, the role of objects of remembrance in reimaging the past, reinventing his life, and Austria's belated acknowledgment of responsibility for its Nazi past. Family photos enhance his story. Distributed by Books International. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
