Displaced persons: growing up American after the Holocaust

Trama

Joseph Berger's beautifully written & beguiling account of how one family of Polish Jews--with one son born at the close of World War II & the other in a "displaced persons" camp on the margins of Berlin--narrowly survived Hitler's atrocities & managed to emerge anew amid the unforgiving & often bewildering landscape of Manhattan's Upper West Side & the Bronx in the 1950s & 1960s.
