The KEEPER OF MEMORY The Keeper of Memory delves into the emotional territory of a child
growing up in a house filled with secrets and silence. At seventeen,
Irene Reti discovered she was Jewish and that her parents were Holocaust
refugees. Through this memoir she seeks to integrate and step beyond the
trauma that cast a shadow across four generations of her family-and find
a spiritual home.
"The Keeper of Memory is personal history of the best kind. Without
sentimentality, often using the words of her parents, aunt and
grandmother, Irene Reti weaves a story of the ways in which the
Holocaust still persists and takes its toll on later generations. It is
a testament to Reti's stubborn integrity that she attempts to place her
own history in the context of her parents' reinventions and silences,
and to rediscover her Jewish lineage and its complex meanings. With this
memoir, she has taken on the profoundly moving, difficult task of
restoration and healing."
