In The Listener, a daughter receives a troubling gift: her mother's stories of surviving World War II in Poland. Irene Oore's Jewish mother married a Gentile Polish officer, which allowed her to escape the death camps. But constantly on the verge of starvation, she lived a harrowing and peripatetic existence as she struggled to keep her own mother and sister alive. Throughout the memoir, Oore reveals a certain ambivalence towards the gift bestowed upon her. The stories of fear, love, and constant hunger traumatised her as a child. Now she shares these same stories with her own children, to keep the history alive. Irene Oore is the co-author of Marie-Claire Blais: An Annotated Bibliography. Born in ÅoÌdþz, Poland, she immigrated to Israel as a child and is now a professor of French at Dalhousie University in Halifax."-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Oore, IreÌne. 600 10 $a Knopf, Stefania. 650 8 $a Children of Holocaust survivors $z Poland $x Biography. 650 8 $a Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) $z Poland $x Biography. 650 8 $a Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) $z Poland $x Personal narratives. 650 8 $a Polish Jews $z Poland $x Biography. 941 $a 1 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20200722013248.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3869CEC2CBE211EA90F77F4597128E48 994 $a C0 $b JINInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
