Esther Safran Foer

Esther Safran Foer was tien jaar lang uitvoerend directeur van Sixth & I in Washington, een van de culturele centra van de stad. Ze legde deze functie neer om aan haar memoires te kunnen werken. Haar zonen zijn Franklin Foer, Jonathan Safran Foer en Joshua Foer. Jonathan schreef eerder de roman Alles is verlicht over het onbekende leven van zijn grootouders, waarop veel reacties met nieuwe informatie kwamen. Deze reacties hielpen Esther in haar zoektocht naar haar verleden.

Samenvatting


NATIONAL JEWISH BOOK AWARDS FINALIST • “Part personal quest, part testament, and all thoughtfully, compassionately written.”—The Washington Post

“Esther Safran Foer is a force of nature: a leader of the Jewish people, the matriarch of America’s leading literary family, an eloquent defender of the proposition that memory matters. And now, a riveting memoirist.”—Jeffrey Goldberg, editor in chief of The Atlantic

NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY NPR

Esther Safran Foer grew up in a home where the past was too terrible to speak of. The child of parents who were each the sole survivors of their respective families, for Esther the Holocaust loomed in the backdrop of daily life, felt but never discussed. The result was a childhood marked by painful silences and continued tragedy. Even as she built a successful career, married, and raised three children, Esther always felt herself searching.

So when Esther’s mother casually mentions an astonishing revelation—that her father had a previous wife and daughter, both killed in the Holocaust—Esther resolves to find out who they were, and how her father survived. Armed with only a black-and-white photo and a hand-drawn map, she travels to Ukraine, determined to find the shtetl where her father hid during the war. What she finds reshapes her identity and gives her the opportunity to finally mourn.

I Want You to Know We’re Still Here is the poignant and deeply moving story not only of Esther’s journey but of four generations living in the shadow of the Holocaust. They are four generations of survivors, storytellers, and memory keepers, determined not just to keep the past alive but to imbue the present with life and more life.
