Meeting this woman
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
I have not read the whole book yet, but I have had the priviledge of having this wonderful woman be one of my professors. She is a marvelous human being. I still love her dearly. When we meet each time, we must give each other a hug. I have a WONDERFUL friendship with her. I highly recommend this book to read. Many of you will never get the priviledge that I got, but you can meet her in her wonderful story. As I said, she is an awesome human being.
One Human Face

What courage it took for Miriam Winter to live through her childhood, much less write about it. Through her eyes, I learned how one brave, resilient Jewish child learned to deny who she was simply to survive. Her attempts to fit in are heart-rending. The voice in these pages is very strong. I wish only to know more -- more about why she remained "hidden" even to herself after the war, more about her life in Poland as a young woman. Even a map of the places she lived. I also wish for more pictures, particularly of her family and life before the war. And the fact that those don't exist, for her family and countless others, chills my soul.
Excellent memoir of a "visible" hidden child.

Miriam Winter tells us a gripping, sometimes harrowing, often horrifying memoir of her aborted childhood. Her orthodox Jewish father teaches her how to cross herself, how to say a Christian prayer and gives her a new name: Marisha. Her life from then on is terrifying and lonely. We learn how she survives, but not why she clings to the lies she has had to tell to do so. Only when she reaches adulthood and meets her future husband is she persuaded to confront her past. It is impossible not to be amazed as well as to be mesmerized by Ms. Winter's life.
