About the Book

Just imagine that you have committed a crime so horrific and heinous that in order to go on with your normal life, you repress it completely. Then, one day, out of the clear blue, many years later, those memories resurface and shatter your life, as you know it. This story focuses on human frailty, the 'banality of evil' and personal accountability. Weaving back and forth from war-torn Lithuania during the Shoah and New York in the late 90's, the historical context of the Holocaust is the backdrop of the dastardly deeds and the turbulent emotions of the protagonist when confronting his repressed memories. The narrative begs the question: can there ever be forgiveness? And also, what are appropriate punishments for unimaginable crimes? Could you forgive someone that you love who had done such a thing? More importantly, if it were you, could you forgive yourself? This novella is a memorial to family members who perished in the forests of Vilnius during the Shoah.
About the Author: Solly Kaplinski lives and works in Jerusalem. His late parents, of blessed memory, were Holocaust survivors who came to South Africa in 1947. They spent several years with the Bielski partisans in the Nalibocka forest in Western Belarus engaged in rescue, resistance and sabotage missions. An alumnus of Herzlia School in Cape Town, the Habonim Zionist youth movement and of the Universities of Cape Town and South Africa, Solly commenced his professional career in education as a school guidance counselor and clinical psychologist. He was the Headmaster of Jewish Community Day Schools in South Africa and Canada before immigrating to Israel with his wife in 2000. Formerly the Director of the International Relations English Desk at Yad Vashem, he is currently engaged as Executive Director, Overseas Joint Ventures, at the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee. A graduate of the Jerusalem Fellows Program and of the Harvard University Principals' Center, Solly is also a published poet and author. His poetry has appeared in several university anthologies. Solly's three daughters and their families all live in Israel.
