Description
In this classic memoir that explores the Nazi presence in the south of Chile after the war, Marjorie AgosÃn writes in the voice of her mother, Frida, who grew up as the daughter of European Jewish immigrants in Chile in the World War II era. Woven into the narrative are the stories of Frida's father, who had to leave Vienna in 1920 because he fell in love with a Christian cabaret dancer; of her paternal grandmother, who arrived in Chile later with a number tattooed on her arm; and of her great-grandmother from Odessa, who loved the Spanish language so much that she repeated its harmonious sounds even in her sleep. AgosÃn's A Cross and a Star is a moving testament to endurance and to the power of memory and words.This edition includes a collection of important new photographs, a new afterword by the author, and a foreword by Ruth Behar.
