☆ Opinion | Life After Loss Is Awful. I Need to Believe It’s Also Beautiful.
  + stars: | 2023-08-25 | by ( Sarah Wildman | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +3 min
When I interviewed the French author Anne Berest some weeks ago I told her I did not have one child, but two; one was gone. “Why are you sorry,” she said, looking directly at me. “But I breastfed her.”I try to reorient myself walking each morning. The adults were loath to turn back to the apartment, basking in company long denied. The light is soft, it is beautiful here, there is a breeze.

☆ ‘The Postcard’ and the Urgency of Holocaust Storytelling - The New York Times
  + stars: | 2023-06-03 | by ( Sarah Wildman | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
“During the Holocaust, millions of people were killed,” Ms. Berest told me recently. Ms. Berest began her project as she was expecting her first daughter, conscious that the next generation will not know survivors the way we did. Ms. Berest explained she was not told the fine details of her family’s war story as a child. In “The Postcard,” Ms. Berest considers what allowed Jews to be ensnared by their surety that an entire society could not turn against them. I told Ms. Berest that when I contacted one of Lotte’s children during my book project, he told me that references to the war years were “unspeakable” in his childhood home.

By the time she started work on “The Postcard,” Berest had plenty of experience with biography. Together with an associate, she founded Porte-Plume, a niche press that specializes in ghostwritten family biographies and corporate books. “I’d always been attracted to the past, and I loved this job,” Berest said. Myriam, Berest’s grandmother, had married their son, Vincente, and survived the war with help from the Picabia clan. “It means that even people who were murdered pass things on to their children, to their grandchildren.”
