When Memory Comes (George L. Mosse Series in Modern European Cultural and Intellectual History)
"Friedländer undertakes an evocative journey into his past that is likely to leave many a reader shaken."—Amos Elon,New York Times Book Review"A beautifully written (and beautifully translated) memoir of a tragic childhood."—New Yorker"A work of eloquence and compassion."—John Skow,Time    "A tender elegy which moves from the Israeli present to the European past, from fear to memory, in a mosaic of Proustian images."—New Republic"The most remarkable feature ofWhen Memory Comesis its composure, an elegance that is unnerving. Friedländer describes his experiences in lean, graceful sentences; his language seems armored against the dissolution it describes."—Leon Wieseltier,The New York Review of Books
