Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Winner of the 2013 National Book Prize from Grub Street, the Towson Prize for Literature, and the 2013 Prakhin International Literary Foundation Award.Ellen Cassedy's longing to recover the Yiddish she'd lost with her mother's death eventually led her to Lithuania, once the 'Jerusalem of the North.' As she prepared for her journey, her uncle, sixty years after he'd left Lithuania in a boxcar, made a shocking disclosure about his wartime experience, and an elderly man from her ancestral town made an unsettling request. Gradually, what had begun as a personal journey broadened into a larger exploration of how the people of this country, Jews and nonJews alike, are confronting their past in order to move forward into the future. How does a nationhow do successor generations, moral beingsovercome a bloody past? How do we judge the bystanders, collaborators, perpetrators, rescuers, and ourselves? These are the questions Cassedy confronts in We Are Here, one woman's exploration of Lithuania's Jewish history combined with a personal exploration of her own family's place in it.Digging through archives with the help of a local whose motives are puzzling to her; interviewing natives, including an old man who wants to 'speak to a Jew' before he dies; discovering the complications encountered by a country that endured both Nazi and Soviet occupationCassedy finds that it's not just the facts of history that matter, but what we choose to do with them.
