Displaced Persons Growing Up American After the Holocaust

"There is something strangely attractive in Berger's stories of the poverty and simple pleasures of his childhood. Without romanticizing his early life, he is able to make us feel how lovely a Sunday walk in the park is when you work in a sweatshop six days a week and how tasty an egg is when you only get to have two a year. In the midst of shame, hunger and alienation, there is the solace of family, tradition and the occasional pastrami sandwich, this last a pleasure that cannot be known by those of us who could have one every day if we wanted."Berger, Joseph is the author of 'Displaced Persons Growing Up American After the Holocaust' with ISBN 9780671027537 and ISBN 0671027530.
