When I Come Back We Will Talk (Paperback)

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. A sons powerful and deeply moving examination of how six weeks of imprisonment in a concentration camp rippled through his fathers life and through his own life forever as well.When I Come Back We Will Talk is a book about the afterwards. Leonard Diepeveen explores his relationship with his father, beginning with his fathers imprisonment as a boy during the winter of 1945 at Kamp Amersfoort, a Nazi concentration camp in the still-occupied Netherlands. In the eighty years that followed, the War would not let Lens father go, holding him and their family unrelentingly in its grip.Written with intense precision, in deeply moving vignettes, When I Come Back We Will Talk is at once acutely personal and highly observant. As one generation disappears, and their experiences and subsequent aftereffects become the fabric of future generations, Diepeveens writing is as much a tender search to understand his fathers life as a survivor and an immigrant as it is an mesmerizing examination of memory and self and how to find meaning in the unspoken-but-ever-present realities that shape family histories. A sons powerful and deeply moving examination of how six weeks of imprisonment in a concentration camp rippled through his fathers life and through his own life forever as well.
