A brilliant life : my mother's inspiring true story of surviving the Holocaust / Rachelle Unreich. by Unreich, Rachelle, 1966- Harper, 2023. Call #: 940.5318 U58b Subjects Unreich, Mira, 1927-2017.   Unreich, Mira, 1927-2017 -- Family.   Unreich, Rachelle, 1966-   Holocaust survivors -- Biography.   Holocaust survivors -- Czechoslovakia -- Biography.   Holocaust survivors -- Family relationships.   Children of Holocaust survivors. ISBN:  9780063328754 (pbk.) Edition:  1st US ed. Description:  x, 290 p. ; 21 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references (pages 281-288). Summary:  "The powerful, true story of a Holocaust survivor told by her daughter -- a tale that reminds us of the resilience of the soul and the ability of the heart to heal. As Mira is nearing the end of her life, her daughter Rachelle wants to find out how her mother had lived through four concentration camps, including Auschwitz, and a Death March. It seemed there was a mystery to her survival, which perhaps had something to do with the strange things that always happened around her. Where they coincidences or something else? And how was it possible that when giving testimony later in life, Mira says it was during the Holocaust -- despite witnessing the depths of man's cruelty -- that she learned about 'the goodness of people.'? Born in Czechoslovakia, Mira was only twelve years old when World War II broke out. At eighty-eight, living in Australia, she is diagnosed with cancer, and her journalist daughter decides to interview her as a distruction from her illness. What Rachelle discovers about her mother helps her understand how Mira flourished after the war and completes her own jigsaw puzzle as the child of a survivor. 'A Brilliant Life' is a story of love, loss, wonder, and the deepest kind of faith, and questions the roles fate, chance and destiny play for all of us. It is a tribute to family and incredible resilience, and a chronicle of the connection between mother and child that even death cannot destroy."--Back cover.
