“An Era: Looking Back, author “
Thoughts, insight and prospective as a second-generation Holocaust survivor. Autobiography, memoir, commentary, attempts to hone the most compelling moments, memories, and emotions focusing in and on the events that took place in my life and before I was born.
The purpose of sharing the story of my life and backdrop during this egregious era is to provide you with my history as the second-generation child of a holocaust survivor.
The intention is to provide you with background information that focuses on my heritage, which shaped my world prior to my birth and through my formative years. I want to provide you with historical information that is so fundamental to my heritage that it had a profound impact on my life not only during my formative years but even before I was born.
Unfortunately — and, of course, thoroughly-depressingly — it is almost completely impossible to recollect — and, ergo, cherish — most of the elements of those many millions of people who lost their lives during World War II!
Trying to describe the events first hand or experiences would be impossible. There are no easy answers in retracing the steps, or easy solutions to finding all the facts. Given the passage of time, trying to recollect the facts of that horror has become impossible.
My parents, and other surviving family; friends provided bits of information who shared their stories were mainly orally passed on to me.
Pondering and looking back at my notes that were pieced together with a lot of thought, sometimes being overly aggressive and sometimes obsessive. Putting this book together has become all-consuming, with a lot of compilation; editing, spending countless hours with intensive investigation into many events. The process slowly revealed and led me into following journeys after finding information on the many brave souls, some that did survive and the majority that did not survive.
Creating a logically-rendered written legacy: “An Era: Looking Back”. So, with due respect to you, the reader, my writing leaves an account of past and current events to explore; to elicit evoke or draw out and find information about what happened to my family.
It is the experience of the past that inspires the future.
To paraphrase Anthony S. Pitch, “…a gargantuan effort…”
“To anyone who feels invisible, please know that your story matters. Your ideas matter: Your experience matters.” – Michelle Obama
“An Era: Looking Back” is introspective; a retrospection – memoir through Joseph Israel Kessler’s thoughts, views, and research, who is a second-generation Holocaust survivor. (The children of those who lived through the Holocaust are mostly Jewish, who are known as second-generation survivors, who lost family, and whose only crime was being born Jewish.)
Today you may ask any young or older person, male or female who has been educated about what they know or remember about the years 1933 – 1945 in regard to the Holocaust. Despite the horrific nature of the survivors’ wartime experiences. It is surely not unreasonable to expect their children not to delve into their past. Yet how justifiable is it for the postwar generation to claim, like myself, that my parents’ history also belongs to me?
Mostly assuredly, most of us would be embarrassed with our lack of knowledge and or understanding of the seriousness of this period in our history, and with that, I wrote, An Era: Looking Back: A Retrospective of a Second Generation Holocaust Survivor
