A reflection on how trauma is passed from generation to generation

In The Listener, a daughter receives a troubling gift: her mother's stories of surviving World War II in Poland. During the Holocaust, Irene Oore's mother escaped the death camps by concealing her Jewish identity. Those years found her constantly on the run and on the verge of starvation, living a harrowing and peripatetic existence as she struggled to keep herself and her family alive.

Throughout the memoir, Oore reveals a certain ambivalence towards the gift bestowed upon her. The stories of fear, love, and constant hunger traumatised her as a child. Now, she shares these same stories with her own children, to keep the history alive.

Feels heavenly
Size: King (20" X 36"), Color: 14 - Lavender - Zipper, Number of Items: 2
Literally just got it in the mail and fell in love. It's so soft and wasn't being harsh with my beard hair. Hopefully no more split ends! (Good hair protection!) There was no odor to speak of and it fit my pillow perfectly, we got king size, (AKA good compatibility)

Super soft and worth it
Color: Light Grey, Size: 2 Pack King(20"X 36")
Honestly really happy with these pillowcases. They feel super soft and cool when you sleep on them. My hair has been way less messy in the morning too. The quality actually feels pretty nice and the king size fit perfectly. Makes my bed feel a lot more comfortable and expensive looking. Definitely glad I bought them.
