When Livia BittonJackson returned in 1980 to her childhood town of amorn, Czechoslovakia, on the Danube River, she was no ordinary tourist: thirtysix years earlier, as a thirteenyearold girl in what was then the Hungarian town of Somorja, she and her family had been deported to Auschwitz.In Saving What Remains, a bestselling memoirist tells a moving and beautifully written story about disinterring the past so that it will never be forgotten. BittonJacksons grippingly presenttense account traces her return to the land she and her Jewish community loved when she was a child, a land that nowdecades after the Holocausts devastationcontained only the remains of a once thriving Jewish culture.What remained in amorn was a Jewish cemetery where the bodies of Livias grandparents rested. And yet a new dam on the Danube would soon flood the graveyard, permanently obliterating the last traces of her familys long sojourn in Europe. At her elderly mothers request, Livia and her husband left from Israel on a precarious questto exhume the family remains and bring them to Israel for reburial. The trip brought back memories both joyful and horrifying for Livia.Written in the tradition of the Jewish Book Award finalist Motherland: Beyond the Holocaust, Livia BittonJacksons Saving What Remains is a heartwrenching story of a Holocaust survivors return to her childhood home decades after surviving Auschwitz. It explores how traces of the Holocaust dot both the landscape and the population despite the utter annihilation of Jewish culture in so much of Europewhile also serving as a poignant and powerful reminder of the debts adult children owe their ancestors.
