When my father first arrived in the United States in 1946 after surviving Auschwitz and other concentration camps, no one, not even Jewish relatives, was particularly interested in hearing about his ordeal. People would say things like, “We suffered too. Did you know that we couldn't get sugar [during the war] and that gasoline was rationed?” So my father and other survivors like him stopped talking about their experiences.
