Pro Reviews: Displaced Persons
There is something strangely attractive in Berger's stories of the poverty and simple pleasures of his childhood. Without romanticizing his early life, he is able to make us feel how lovely a Sunday walk in the park is when you work in a sweatshop six days a week and how tasty an egg is when you only get to have two a year. In the midst of shame, hunger and alienation, there is the solace of family, tradition and the occasional pastrami sandwich, this last a pleasure that cannot be known by those of us who could have one every day if we wanted.
Publisher Notes: Displaced Persons
- In this touching account, veteran "New York Times" reporter Joseph Berger describes how his own family of Polish Jews -- with one son born at the close of World War II and the other in a "displaced persons" camp outside Berlin -- managed against all odds to make a life for themselves in the utterly foreign landscape of post-World War II America. Paying eloquent homage to his parents' extraordinary courage, luck, and hard work while illuminating as never before the experience of 140,000 refugees who came to the United States between 1947 and 1953, Joseph Berger has captured a defining moment in history in a riveting and deeply personal chronicle.
