The wandering Jews, the Jews of the Diaspora, were always able to start a new life. . . . I am a daughter of the Diaspora and I carry within me the history of all these people, of the 20th century, a century of diaspora and refugees. . . . My work in the pursuit of memory has a lot to do with honoring the dead and the living. . . . One of the most important aspects that led me to write about my mother and father was to try to reconstruct a vanished world. That is the task of the historian or the political scientist.
Memory is ambiguous. . . .
My parents are the symbol of so many people of their generation, who had to be diasporic and construct a new life. This site works best with the latest version of Netscape Navigator 4.0 and Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0.
