Long Shadows: Stories from a Jewish Home
VN:F [1.9.8_1114]
Rating: 0.0/5 (0 votes cast)

The largest population of Holocaust survivors, per capita, outside Israel lives in Melbourne, Australia. These survivors are facing death and isolation for the second time, as they make the traumatic transition to an aged care facility. Dementia, memory loss and physical immobility contribute to a splintering of identity. Removed from their homes, their familiar routines, their families and the outside community, past horrors come flooding back.
