Lives Lived and Lost: East European History Before, During, and After World War II as Experienced by an Anthropologist and Her Mother

This title stands at the intersection of biography, autobiography, memory and history. It narrates a mother’s and daughter’s separate perspectives of their experiences before, during and after World War II. The book is also an ethnography of lives of women and children during a transformative period in Eastern Europe and opens a window to the crucial events of that epoch.
