Samenvatting
A groundbreaking second-generation memoir of the Holocaust and its legacy by Otto Franks goddaughterThe extraordinary tale is heroic (The New York Times).
Rita Goldberg recounts the extraordinary story of her mother, Hilde Jacobsthal, a close friend of Anne Franks family who was fifteen when the Nazis invaded Holland. After the arrest of her parents in 1943, Hilde fled to Belgium, living out the war years in an extraordinary set of circumstancesfirst among the Resistance, and then at Bergen-Belsen after its liberation. In the words of The Guardian, the story is worthy of a film script.
As astonishing as Hildes story is, Rita herself emerges as the central character in this utterly unique memoir. Proud of her mother and yet struggling to forge an identity in the shadow of such heroic accomplishmentsnot to mention her familys close relationship to the iconic Frank familyGoldberg offers an unflinching look at the struggles faced by children and grandchildren whose own lives are haunted by historic tragedy.
Motherland is the culmination of a lifetime of reflection and a decade of research. It is an epic story of survival, adventure, and new life.
A double memoir that braids her parents story with her own, and succeeds in articulating a difficult truth. The Economist
