Erzi: Fragments of a Life (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798888123393)

About the Book

Thirty years ago, when Dr. Zoran Svorcan came to New York to work as a psychiatrist, he found himself looking through his grandmother Erzi's memorabilia from long past and came upon a manuscript documenting her life as a Jewish woman between World War I and World War II. Her written account ends before her capture and imprisonment in Auschwitz, where she died. Her story brings her struggle as a Jewish woman to life in a volatile time in history.

Dr. Svorcan has taken his grandmother's words and brings them to a new audience, along with more up-to-date information and additions to provide contemporary details of family members and those who knew her. Illuminating, heart wrenching, and thought-provoking, Erzi is a treasured account of a life lived and its continuing effects for generations to come.
