Inventing Memory
“—TOLSTOY LETTER FROM SALOME LEVITSKY TO SARAH LEVITSKY Lenox 28 March 1948 Dearest Mama, What to tell you after all these years of silence? That I admire you? That I love you more than words can express? That I know now all the things you did for me? That I am a mother now and understand everything? That I am ashamed of how long it took me to understand?
My little one was born two days ago in Pittsfield. Aaron and I do nothing but stare at her in utter amazement. Where did she come from? Su...rely she cannot have come out of my body. She looks like you….
The school we started is going well. We have staffed it mainly with "displaced persons," refugees from Hitler, survivors of the horrors of Europe. The stories they tell!

How can you and I be separated when such horrors go on in the world?MoreLess
