Summary:

"The authors of this dual memoir did not live through the trauma of the Holocaust; they inherited it. Whether their survivor parents revealed what they endured or erected barriers of silence, the horrors they experienced permeated the lives of their children. Aron Hirt-Manheimer and Marty Yura grew up in the close-knit community of Yiddish-speaking refugees in America. After meeting in Los Angeles as high school students, the two became fast friends with much in common, including the fact that they were both conceived in the same displaced persons camp in US-occupied Germany. This book traces their colorful growing-up adventures through fast-paced alternating passages. Though the Holocaust formed the backdrop of their lives, they didn't talk much about it - until, as older adults, the embraced the imperative to bear witness. They set or to discover everything they could about what happened to their parents and other relatives in Poland during World War II." -- Dust jacket.
