Do This One Thing for Me
Author(s): Jane Elias
What does it mean to remember the Holocaust, and how do you bear the legacy of trauma while forging ahead in the 21st century? Jane Elias grapples with these questions through an acute portrait of her relationship with her father, a Greek Holocaust survivor. Realizing she may not be able to grant his wish to one day dance together at her wedding, she instead honors him by taking part in the March of the Living in Poland. A transcendental pas de deux between two generations and a daughter’s love letter to her dad.
