Synopsis
At the age of five, Rita Lurie's Jewish family was shattered by the Holocaust. Like Anne Frank, Rita lived in a cramped attic with her family, starving and terrified in the dark. Unlike Frank, Rita survived, but not before watching her brother and mother murdered. Leslie Gilbert-Lurie's memoir BENDING TOWARD THE SUN describes her mother's heroic and harrowing experiences both during and after the war--when she wandered Europe as an exile. In addition, she vividly depicts the crushing long-lasting psychological effects of the trauma, not only for Rita, but for her children too, handed down to them through stories and unspoken strains of guilt and terror. BENDING TOWARD THE SUN is a story of the ongoing effects of history's darkest hour, but it is also a story of hope, of family, and of survival.
