The Difference: The memoir explores my mother’s teenage life as a Schindler’s List survivor, her trauma resulting from the atrocities she endured with her parents and six of seven brothers and sisters who were murdered in the gas chambers of Auschwitz, and how she deeply inflicted her trauma upon her sons as children. The story’s underlying theme confronts racism – how it can begin, what it can do to us – deeply penetrating its familial and social ramifications and how we can reconcile from it even amidst the reach of darkness. There has always been much shared of survivors’ accounts of the atrocities they lived through in the Holocaust, but not as much of the impact of their trauma upon their children. This is what my brother and I grew up with as children – our mother’s trauma was our trauma. About the Author: Robert Don has been changing careers from his professional background in senior risk management within corporate banking to becoming a writer. He recently conducted research in both Auschwitz and Plaszow and is deeply familiar with the Holocaust stories being told. Having lived through this story, he finally wanted to tell the story and is well versed in the details of this time period of the Holocaust. The Difference would be his debut book.
