My series of interviews with children of Holocaust survivors is gaining quite a following! So far, 5 interviews have been posted on my blog. Each person's story is unique, which makes this project so fascinating. The responses to these interviews have been heartwarming.
This project is an extension of the research I have done for my two novels, Escaping the Whale and the prequel The Whale Surfaces. Both novels feature a protagonist who is a daughter of survivors. As she experiences her coming of age, she struggles with her legacy of inherited trauma, the expectations of others, and her own mental battles.
Visit my blog on my website (https://www.ruthswhale.com) to read the interviews. More are on the way!
