Memoir of a 2G: Story of Secrecy and Resilience (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781721676804)

World War II created much havoc for many people both in Europe and in the United States. From Concentration Camp Dachau to Cuba and the United States, Memoir of a 2G: Story of Secrecy and Resilience tells the story of what Patricia's parents went through during these times and how these events affected her upbringing. A 2G is a designated moniker given to a person whose parents were in the Holocaust. While growing up, very little if any information and experiences were talked about by her parents about what they had endured. Most everything was a blur for her. Questions were not answered, silence was the norm. Through Patricia's attempt to find out appropriate truths, and while working on her family genealogy, she was able to get some finality. Memoir of a 2G: Story of Secrecy and Resilience illustrates examples of what a child and as a young adult endured growing up in that type of family environment. In Memoir of a 2G: Story of Secrecy and Resilience, you will find this is a story that follows Patricia through the many experiences she endured. Patricia has come full circle in her understanding of how in spite of prejudice, survival, secrecy and perfectionism, she was able to create a rich life. Her challenging life events brought about both sorrow and joy. This story will give examples of how she was vulnerable and in some instances how she did not have the nerve to speak up in fear of the obvious and not so obvious consequences and reprisals.
