A BBC RADIO 4 BOOK OF THE WEEK ‘Esther Safran Foer has written of her family in a way that is both uniquely and heartbreakingly her story and a deeply important testament for Ashkenazi Jews. Her memories are our important history.’ Robert Peston, ITV Political Editor A moving and powerful inter-generational memoir about story and memory. Mine is a family of readers and writers. Our house is filled with books. There are contemporary design books on the coffee table in the living room, legal books in my husband’s home office, and piles of children’s books for when my grandchildren visit. However, the side table next to my bed is piled with books about the Holocaust. Framed maps of shtetls line my office walls and pictures of relatives killed in the Holocaust are displayed on our family gallery walls. Sometimes I feel like I exist across two polarized realities, experiencing great fulfillment from family, friends, and a meaningful career, and, at the same time, finding the joy of my life tempered by its shadows. In the darker corners of my mind live ghosts and demons who visit me from the shtetls in Ukraine where my family came from. Some of the details that make these visions so vivid are imagined because I grew up in a family where memories were too terrible to speak of. This is the true story of four generations who have been dealing with the Holocaust and its aftermath. We are four generations, survivors and survivors of survivors, storytellers and memory keepers. And we’re still here.

A riveting memoir of family, the Holocaust, and the search for truth Esther Safran Foer grew up in a home where the past was too terrible to speak of. The child of parents who were each the sole survivors of their respective families, for Esther the Holocaust loomed in the backdrop of daily life, felt but never discussed. The result was a childhood marked by painful silences and continued tragedy. Even as she built a successful career, married, and raised three children, Esther always felt herself searching. So when Esther’s mother casually mentions an astonishing revelation—that her father had a previous wife and daughter, both killed in the Holocaust—Esther resolves to find out who they were, and how her father survived. Armed with only a black-and-white photo and a hand-drawn map, she travels to Ukraine, determined to find the shtetl where her father hid during the war. What she finds reshapes her identity and gives her the opportunity to finally mourn. I Want You to Know We’re Still Here is the poignant and deeply moving story not only of Esther’s journey but of four generations living in the shadow of the Holocaust. They are four generations of survivors, storytellers, and memory keepers, determined not just to keep the past alive but to imbue the present with life and more life.

Dieses Buch ist ein kleiner Triumph über den Faschismus.Esther Safran Foer ist die Mutter des Bestsellerautors Jonathan Safran Foer, der mit seinem weltweit gefeierten Debüt »Alles ist erleuchtet« den Grundstein legte für dieses mutige Memoir. Sie begibt sich auf die Suche nach der Geschichte ihrer Familie, die in der schrecklichen Dunkelheit des Nationalsozialismus begraben wurde. Ein Buch gegen das Vergessen. Als Esthers Mutter beiläufig offenbart, dass ihr Mann eine frühere Frau und Tochter hatte, die beide im Holocaust ermordet wurden, beschließt Esther herauszufinden, wer sie waren und wie ihr Vater überlebt hat. Nur mit einem Schwarzweißfoto und einer handgezeichneten Karte reist sie zusammen mit ihrem Sohn in die heutige Ukraine, um das Shtetl zu finden, in dem sich ihr Vater während des Krieges versteckt hatte. Diese Reise wird ihr Leben für immer verändern und sie wird es Esther ermöglichen, endlich richtig zu trauern. Sie findet in der Ukraine tatsächlich die Nachfahren der Menschen, die ihren Vater versteckt hatten und erfährt sogar den Namen ihrer Halbschwester. Eine bewegende Geschichte von einer Frau auf der Suche nach ihrer Familie, aber auch von vier Generationen von Überlebenden, Geschichtenerzählern und Gedächtniswächtern, die entschlossen sind, nicht nur die Vergangenheit am Leben zu erhalten, sondern auch die Gegenwart mit Leben zu füllen.
