World War II has long since ended, and yet Jaclyn and her brothers and sisters grow up learning to survive it. Having lived through the Holocaust on the principle of constant distrust, their mother, Channa, dutifully teaches her children to cling to one another while casting a suspicious eye to the outside world. When Channa dies, the unexpected contents of her will force her adult children to confront years of suppressed indignation. For Jaclyn and her siblings, the greatest war will not be against strangers, but against each other. Broken Birds, The Story of My Momila, is
Jeannette Katzir's achingly honest memoir of the enduring effects of
war. From her parents' harrowing experience during the Holocaust
to her own personal battles, Katzir exposes the maladies of heart and
mind that those broken by war inevitably and unintentionally pass down
to the generations that follow.
