“Fascinating . . . A tragic saga, but at the same time it often reads like a thriller filled with acts of extraordinary courage, descriptions of dangerous journeys and a series of secret identities.”—Chicago Tribune“To this day, I don't even know what my mother's real name is.”Helen Fremont was raised as a Roman Catholic. It wasn't until she was an adult, practicing law in Boston, that she discovered her parents were Jewish—Holocaust survivors living invented lives. Not even their names were their own. In this powerful memoir, Helen Fremont delves into the secrets that held her family in a bond of silence for more than four decades, recounting with heartbreaking clarity a remarkable tale of survival, as vivid as fiction but with the resonance of truth.Driven to uncover their roots, Fremont and her sister pieced together an astonishing story: of Siberian Gulags and Italian royalty, of concentration camps and buried lives. After Long Silence is about the devastating price of hiding the truth; about families; about the steps we take, foolish or wise, to protect ourselves and our loved ones. No one who reads this book can be unmoved, or fail to understand the seductive, damaging power of secrets.Praise for After Long Silence“Poignant . . . affecting . . . part detective story, part literary memoir, part imagined past.”—The New York Times Book Review“Riveting . . . painfully authentic . . . a poignant memoir, a labor of love for the parents she never really knew.”—The Boston Globe“Mesmerizing . . . Fremont has accomplished something that seems close to impossible. She has made a fresh and worthy contribution to the vast literature of the Holocaust.”—The Washington Post Book World

The writing was strong, the story was powerful. Yet I emphatically do not recommend this book. I feel Fremont was profoundly selfish in capitalizing on her family tragedy to sell books.I understand why the author felt compelled to find answers to the unspoken questions that were an undercurrent to her childhood: Something was just not ... right; an adult child needs to understand what really was, before being able to have real agency to create a future.The author passionately dug into family history because she wanted to understand her true identity. But she obviously cared little about the fact that her parents, in order to handle their anxiety, had also created “true” identities.Her parents and aunt clearly did not want their past revealed to the public; note they refused to attend the family reunion that came about because of the book.People have the right to privacy, particularly people who have suffered through unimaginable trauma. Her parents had no control over their hideous experiences, and in old age, had no control over their personal narratives. (It’s ironic that the author very much controlled her own story - she told her family she was gay only when she wanted to tell them.)I was a longtime newspaper reporter and also have an MA in counseling - I know a good story but I also respect boundaries.I’m glad that the family’s secrets are no longer hidden - secrets make us sick. However, any trauma survivor deserves to be treated with the utmost dignity and respect. The author should have kept her knowledge private unless her parents asked her to write a book.
