What if I had not been born in Poland in 1939? What if those five words had not been said? What if I had grown up in a safe, happy environment, surrounded by a large family?' Take the Child and Disappear examines the Shoah (Holocaust) from multiple perspectives - before, during and after. As the author recounts her experiences and those of her family members, she contemplates the many ways being a child survivor has shaped her life, both consciously and unconsciously. 'I have lived a happy and fulfilling life, surrounded by a large, loving family and enriched by years of community involvement. Yet despite this, there has always been a sense of dislocation and some unresolved questions, most troubling of which were - who am I and where do I belong? I thought a visit to Poland might answer them. It did not.' The book is also about Hadassa, Nina's courageous and wise mother. 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 600 10 Bassat, Nina, |d1939- 600 10 Bassat, Nina, |d1939- |xFamily. 650 0 Holocaust survivors |zAustralia |vBiography. 650 0 Holocaust survivors |zPoland |vBiography. 650 0 Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) |zPoland. 650 6 Survivants de l'Holocauste |zAustralie |vBiographies. |0(CaQQLa)201-0128408 |0(CaQQLa)201-0440946 |0(CaQQLa)201-0378258 650 6 Survivants de l'Holocauste |zPologne |vBiographies. |0(CaQQLa)201-0128408 |0(CaQQLa)201-0494059 |0(CaQQLa)201-0378258 650 7 Families. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01728849 650 7 Holocaust survivors. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00958838 651 7 Australia. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01204543 651 7 Poland. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01206891 647 7 Jewish Holocaust |d(1939-1945) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00958866 648 7 1939-1945 |2fast 655 7 Autobiographies. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01919894 655 7 Biographies. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 Autobiographies. |2lcgft 655 7 Autobiographies. |2rvmgf |0(CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000520 856 41 |uhttps://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/ushmm/detail.action?docID=6705255 |zHosted by ProQuest |3Electronic version(s) available. 852 0 |bscstacks |hDS135.A883 |iB37 2021 852 |bebook
