Sans masquefait la chronique des expériences exceptionnelles de Truda Rosenberg, une jeune Juive qui a vécu pendant la Seconde Guerre Mondiale. La seule survivante de sa famille, Rosenberg témoigne l'adversité et la cruauté humaine endurée par des millions de Juifs à travers l'Europe. De sa fuite de Belzec, un camp de concentration où 500 000 juifs ont été abattus, aux multiples confrontations avec les autorités Nazis, durant lesquelles elle a dû déployer de nombreuses fausses identités, au ghetto de Varsovie, où elle contribua à une insurrection, l'auteure raconte une série d'épisodes qui altéra sa vie pour toujours. Les épisodes qui regroupent le volume illustrent combien il est difficile de retrouver son identité lorsque celle-ci fut brutalement piétinée. Le récit est une attestation à la résilience de la dignité humaine, à sa capacité d'adaptation aux pires circonstances et surtout à sa soif de triomphe. Au travers de cet ouvrage, l'auteur entend contribuer aux archives collectives qui témoignent du génocide systématique de son peuple pendant la Seconde Guerre Mondiale et célébrer la décision la plus importante de sa vie - celle de ressaisir ses racines et sa culture.

InInheriting the Holocaust, Paula S. Fass explores her own past as the daughter of Holocaust survivors to reflect on the nature of history and memory. Through her parents' experiences and the stories they recounted, Fass defined her engagement as a historian and used these skills to better understand her parents' lives. Fass begins her journey through time and relationships when she travels to Poland and locates birth certificates of the murdered siblings she never knew. That journey to recover her family's story provides her with ever more evidence for the perplexing reliability of memory and its winding path toward historical reconstruction. In the end, Fass recovers parts of her family's history only to discover that Poland is rapidly re-imagining the role Jews played in the nation's past.

\"Life in Transit is the long-awaited sequel to Shimon Redlich’s widely acclaimed Together and Apart in Brzezany, in which he discussed his childhood during the War and the Holocaust. Life in Transit tells the story of his adolescence in the city of Lodz in postwar Poland. Redlich’s personal memories are placed within the wider historical context of Jewish life in Poland and in Lodz during the immediate postwar years. Lodz in the years 1945-1950 was the second-largest city in the country and the major urban center of the Jewish population. Redlich’s research based on conventional sources and numerous interviews indicates that although the survivors still lived in the shadow of the Holocaust, postwar Jewish Lodz was permeated with a sense of vitality and hope.\"
