TY - JOUR TI - This, too, I blame on Hitler DO - https://doi.org/doi:10.7282/T3F192G0 PY - 2017 AB - What becomes of those who survive? This collection of personal essays uses humor and reflection to explore the themes of inherited trauma and bicultural identity, finding sanctity in the unlikeliest of sources: irreverence. Whether reporting on Syrian refugees at the Hungarian-Serbian border, reflecting on his experimentations with sadomasochism, recounting a botched haircut at the hands of his six-year-old brother, or translating a musical written by his grandfather in a Soviet Gulag, the author grapples with the question: how does one discover nuance in personal heritage under the Manichean weight of a global atrocity like the Holocaust?
