Beyond the Holocaust: An Immigrant's Search for Identity (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781982243135)

Beyond the Holocaust: An Immigrant's Search for Identity is Sylvie Heyman's personal narrative as a refugee, with her family, from Europe during World War II. It chronicles their journey to Brazil, the harrowing experiences as they were smuggled to Argentina, the challenges faced in those dictatorship countries and the final immigration to the United States of America when the author was a teenager.
In the second part of the book, the author blends her personal experiences with scholarly theories about language, nationality, and identity to better understand the long-term struggles and challenges that immigrants face.
