As survivors of many of the twentieth century's most monumental events —the Holocaust, Pearl Harbor, the Cambodian Killing Fields ― die, how do we perpetuate their stories to ensure that the past’s horrors are not forgotten? In her new book, Survivor Café, Elizabeth Rosner depicts the efforts to understand the intergenerational inheritance of trauma, as well as the intricacies of remembrance in the aftermath of atrocity. Rosner organizes Survivor Café around three trips with her father to the Buchenwald concentration camp―in 1983, in 1995, and in 2015.
