“It takes great courage to confront one’s demons by sharing them with your children, especially when they are now adults. Yet, that’s exactly what ninety-year-old Holocaust survivor David Diamentstein finally does—before his time runs out.Written with much love and wit, his son Todd comes to grips with his own trauma by connecting the historic dots between the Holocaust and the rise of current global antisemitism in the post–October 7th world. Pass the Trauma, PleasePass Please stands as a unique memoir among Holocaust literature because it does far more than document the past. It connects the past to the present.”
