Inheriting the Holocaust
A Second-Generation Memoir
Rutgers University Press
In Inheriting the Holocaust, Paula S. Fass explores her own past as the daughter of Holocaust survivors to reflect on the nature of history and memory. Her journey through time and relationships begins when she travels to Poland and locates birth certificates of the murdered siblings she never knew. Recovering her family’s story provides Fass with ever more evidence for the perplexing reliability of memory, its winding path toward historical reconstruction, and a re-imagining of the role Jews played in Poland’s past.

Rutgers University Press
In Designing Modern Childhoods, architectural historians, social historians, social scientists, and architects examine the history and design of places and objects such as schools, hospitals, playgrounds, houses, cell phones, snowboards, and even the McDonald's Happy Meal. Special attention is given to how children use and interpret the spaces, buildings, and objects that are part of their lives, becoming themselves creators and carriers of culture.
