Broken Silence
Holocaust ruminations by Stein, who was born in Budapest in 1936 to an assimilated family. His mother decided to have her son and daughter baptized in a vain effort to save them from antisemitism. She was deported to her death, and her husband was blinded during forced labor. Stein was raped, but he and his sister survived. As a result of postwar antisemitism, he assumed a Protestant identity; he returned to a Jewish identity later in in life in Canada. Most of the book consists of imaginary dialogues between the author and his torturer (rapist), a victim (his mother), a spectator (a composite figure encompassing European non-Jews, the Allies, and New World Jews who failed to help and also lacked compassion, after the war, for survivors), a survivor (his mother's sister Sari, who tells how she "sold" her body to save her own and her sister's children), and a boy (himself). Reveals little of the objective details of the Holocaust, but a great deal of its effect on the soul of a child.
