- cransell recommends Burnt Bread and Chutney: Growing Up Between Cultures-A Memoir of an Indian Jewish Girl by Carmit Delman, "A different look at the emigrant experience of a lesser known community of Jews."
- labfs39 recommends The Lost: A Search for Six of Six Million by Daniel Mendelsohn, "Reading My Father’s Paradise brings to mind Daniel Mendelsohn’s book The Lost (published by HarperCollins in 2006). Both books are personal journeys (see more) of discovery into their families’ pasts: Sabar’s search for Zakho’s Jews and his father’s past, and Mendelsohn’s search for six members of his family lost in the Holocaust. Both are compelling stories with broad appeal. What is different, however, is Mendelsohn’s inclusion of the impact of each discovery on his own understanding: understanding of himself and his family, on the nature of history and memory, and on the interaction of truth and storytelling."
