In this fascinating narrative, we are witness to the author's poignant struggle to make sense of the bizarre behaviors, the secrets and the lies that permeate her home. While her parents had physically survived the war, they were so profoundly damaged that they lacked the capacity for parenting and intimate relationships. At the center of her story is her tyrannical father, a profoundly mentally disturbed man who lives in a virtual prison of his own making. Paranoid and controlling, he guards the house and lays down rule after unspoken rule for his wife and children to obey. Towards the end, family secrets that are both joyous and heart wrenching are uncovered. The Stranger in Our House chronicles this traumatic childhood, and is relevant to children of survivors or anyone with an interest in Holocaust studies, PTSD and the transgenerational effect of trauma.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 314\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 9.02 x 5.98 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 10, 2011\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47471571304701,"sku":"9780983396505","price":27.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/3414\/0157\/files\/bXIzQStDSlhLRHVBelJnWXI4R2M3UT09.webp?v=1777344726","url":"https:\/\/booktolia.com\/products\/the-stranger-in-our-house-growing-up-with-holocaust-survivors-a-memoir-paperback","provider":"booktolia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
