From Liberation and Loss to Love, Lemonade and Laughter by Dr. Ettie Zilber

From Liberation & Loss to Love, Lemonade & Laughter by Dr. Ettie Zilber

While the term ‘liberation’ conjures up celebrations and champagne glasses, it was nothing like that for those who were barely alive in 1945. The prisoners woke up one morning and suddenly discovered that their Nazi guards were gone and watched with worried anticipation as their liberators appeared. After 5 years of terror and abuse, what did the next five years have in store for Ettie’s family and tens of thousands of other displaced persons? Without social media or telecommunications, how did they reunite with the ‘surviving remnants?’ How did they deal with their liberators, rehabilitate, and navigate the new dangers of a war-torn and divided Europe… and then find and arrive in a new home?

Signed copies of Dr. Zilber's book A Holocaust Memoir of Love & Resilience: Mama’s Survival from Lithuania to America will be available for purchase.
