Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A crisis of faith follows mother and daughter in this beautifully rendered, harrowing WWII memoir. With the heartrending We Are on Our Own, Miriam Katin recounts the story of her escape from German-occupied Hungary as a child, led by her determined mother. The two fled Budapest near the end of WWII and at the age of sixty-three Katin enshrined her memory in these extraordinary pages, originally published in hardcover more than fifteen years ago. In 1944, Miriam is a toddler beloved by her dog Rexy, but when her mother is forced to give up their Jewish dog to the German authorities, Miriam s world begins to unravel. The two flee to the countryside after faking their deaths and traversing lands blanketed with snow. Miriam s fragmented childhood memories of forests, chocolate, strange men, and the noise of war are reconstituted in this beautifully told epic journey where the innocence of a child is set against unthinkable violence. Another crisis, one of faith, haunts the severed family on their path. Struggling to reunite with Miriam s father who has been conscripted to the Hungarian army, mother and daughter contemplate God, wondering how He could allow such destruction. Poetic words of the Torah combine with images of war as Miriam examines the theological dilemma both victims as well as survivors of the Shoah. When Miriam and her mother hide with a winemaker, they soothe their nerves with the tonic, reciting God is red. God is in the glass. God, they understand, is in the very human will to survive, and in that pursuit of survival, we are truly on our own. A crisis of faith follows mother and daughter in this beautifully rendered, harrowing WWII memoir. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
