In it, Myra Giberovitch documents her twenty-five years of working with Holocaust survivors as a professional social worker, researcher, educator, community leader, and daughter of Auschwitz survivors.

This book is essential for anyone who studies, interacts, lives, or works with survivors of mass atrocity.
