About All the Horrors of War
|
All the Horrors of War is a story about perseverance and what it means to save another’s life. The book focuses on the journeys of Brigadier Glyn Hughes, the British officer who spearheaded relief efforts at Bergen-Belsen, and Rachel Genuth, a teenager from a poor family in Sighet, Transylvania, who would grow up to become Lerner’s mother. |
Before the word “Holocaust” entered modern parlance, Bernice Lerner learned about her parents’ wartime experiences. But before she learned what they had suffered and endured, she had heard stories about their childhoods and post-war years, which seemed adventure-filled. The ruptures in their lives were more complicated and tragic than she could imagine as a child, and it took decades of research to gain an understanding of what happened to her family.
All the Horrors of War answers the question of how, against all odds, her mother survived.
