Family History of Fear

Praise for Agata Tuszynska’s FAMILY HISTORY OF FEAR   “The 20th century’s darkest moments have inspired more than a few illuminating memoirs, and Agata Tuszynska’s Family History of Fear belongs in their number.” —Joshua Rubenstein, The Wall Street Journal   “Tuszynska reveals a history that is raw, painful, and personal . . . Beautiful and terrifying . . . A work of fierce courage.” —Dalia Wolfson, Jewish Book Council   “A telling historical anecdote, practically overflowing with meaning . . . As much a personal history as it is a piece of psychic archeology. Tuszynska digs into her family’s past, sifting through records and stories, and retracing the steps of her ancestors . . . Not only a memoir or work of restorative personal history. It’s an act of un-erasure. Tracing her bloodlines of fear, secrecy and self-loathing, she uncovers a history of survival and solidarity, of profound love.” —John Semley, The Globe and Mail From the Hardcover edition.
