Epstein, Helen: Where She Came From, a daughter's search for her mother's history [von Helen Epstein], Boston, Little, Brown & Co. 1997. ISBN: 0316246085
Aus der Bibliothek Prof. Wolfgang Pöhlmann (Tübingen). - Aus dem Klappentext: "Where She Came From is a memoir in the form of a quest for personal and historical understanding - a multi generational saga with the sweep and emotional impact of a novel. After the death of her mother, Frances, in 1989, Helen Epstein set out to research and reconstruct the life of her mother and that of her grandmother and great-grandmother. Like so many children of Holocaust survivors and other people displaced by the catastrophes of the twentieth century, she had few family documents, only stories. She traveled to Czechoslovakia, Austria, and Israel, searching out people who had known her family and locating material in libraries and archives on three continents. Using three decades of journalistic training, and working like an archaeologist with shards of data, she pieced together an account of the lives of the women in her family and the social history of Central European Jews. Helen's great-grandmother, Therese, was an innkeeper's daughter who fell in love with a Czech Christian, but was instead married off to a Jewish peddler. In 1890, she leaped to her death from a fourth-floor window in Vienna. Her daughter, Pepi, orphaned at the age of eight, grew up on the Jewish Street in Kolin under the tutelage of her devout aunt Rosa. At the turn of the century, Pepi became one of Prague's "new women," launching a career in high fashion that took her to Paris and Berlin. Pepi's daughter, Frances, joined her mother's business at the age of fifteen and was a proud citizen of the first Czechoslovak Republic, where Jews enjoyed unprecedented freedom until the German invasion of 1939. Pepi was murdered during the Second World War. Frances was the sole survivor of her family. The story of Therese, Pepi, and Frances is in many ways emblematic of their times, and offers a rare, detailed glimpse into a vanished world. It will resonate strongly with anyone seeking to understand how family and history shape us." - Band mit wenigen farbigen Anstreichungen im Text. Sonst guter Zustand.
