Beneath A Stormy Cloud Moving On Without Her edition by Naomi Litvin Edith Litvin Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
I didn't finish the book yet, but what I already read, has provoked deep emotions on me.
I would recomend it to anyone who had relatives that in any way were related to the Shoah (Holocaust). Even if not direct victims.
Reading the Edith poems, and the added Naomi texts, make you feel other's emotions, and help to understand what "they" felt on those days. And after the war.
I feel this as a very valuable testimony.
Horrible writing. For someone who spends her time on social media calling people murderers, she will reap what she sows.
This book is a continuation of the Litvin family first book, We Never Lost Hope A Holocaust Memoir and Love Story. It features a selection from the collection of poems by Edith Litvin with feedback and comment from daughter Naomi Litvin as a commemoration.
The paragraph introducing Edith (p.vii) is compact, contrast and impressive. Even after Edith passed away, Naomi keeps her spirit alive in remembering her love by publishing her poem, reading her lines, seeing her pictures and hearing her voice. As Edith was a Holocaust survivor, she has to struggle when her child asked for not fighting back. It is very difficult when children in peace and not war to understand. “Such is life” is her answer (p.6). It was not unusual for Edith to share her experience of family history under the Nazi to her children for posterity and healing so that her children would honor and treasure the legacy and value the new life their parent’s best offered.
In response to her mother poems, Naomi visited Wailing Wall in Jerusalem (p.18) to trace her Jewish root to pray for peace. Life does not happen as in fairy tale, the Litvin family moved to Australia and return to US as it didn’t work out. The rough wave showed her emotion on the poems thereafter. The On Fear Escape (p.25) was written from a heart of peace and expressed. “Poem The Jews Sing the Blues” was the sharing from the bottom of her heart. Why a Jewish Rabbi, Jesus killed by Roman crucifixion and blamed the whole Jewish people for it forever? He did not intend to start a new religion with his life but died as a national martyr against the brutal imperial and colonial Roman Empire oppression. Jews escaped from Nazi Germany persecution by ships to American soil but was only refused to come ashore. The lambs were returned to the tigers. Dr. Ho, Fung Shan, the Chinese diplomat in Austria issued thousands of emergency visas to Jews who fled to Shanghai China. The documentary “Shanghai Ghetto” was a vivid memory of their China years.
The Holocaust with six million Jews perished was in public consciences, but the holocaust in Asia was not known in the West until Iris Chang wrote the book The Rape of Nanking. However, the Nazi ally Japan whitewash, distort and even deny it happened as not many Asian holocaust survivors around to tell their horror.
Of all poems, I enjoy “Is Anyone Home?” (p.23), “Her Voice so Soft” (p.81) on days and nights, war and peace, sadness and happiness, human and creature, screams and silence.
This book is love between mother and daughter, a Jewish tapestry of life from war to peace, horror to love, Nazi brutality to land of the free. It was a Holocaust survival story affirming to live and flourish is victory over Nazi. And in comparison, the Asia holocaust victims and survivors still try hard to gain back their dignity and justice from their perpetrator with Japan PM Abe still echoed Tokyo Trial is “Victor Justice”.
Naomi shared in a meaningful way to honor her mother love. Edith must be smiling proudly down at Naomi from heaven for this family treasure.
I was so moved by the poems by Edith Litvin. They convey the true experiences of a child who suffered deep loss in the Holocaust and the way her life and family were affected by that experience.
A moving memoir of the impact the authors mother has had - in life and death - upon her. Revealing and endearing.
