A talk by Sonia Case about her book, sonia says: "Burying the Ghosts was published in September 2023. The book is written in 4 parts from 1934 to 1980 and locations include Berlin, North London, Richmond upon Thames and Poland'.
As the daughter of a survivor I'm keen to ensure that the experiences of those who managed to escape alongside information about how the Nazi party managed to achieve their terrible aims, is shared with a wide audience. I speak to audiences young and old(er), and am on an approved list of Speakers in Schools.
And the blurb on the book says:
When Hedda Israel escapes from Germany, her first challenge is to secure her mother’s release from a concentration camp. Still a teenager, Hedda falls for Peter Carter, an English psychiatrist engaged in war-work, and a romantic life awaits. But when awkward Alice joins her daughter in England and starts to make a little extra ‘on the side’, Hedda’s chance of love is almost certainly over.
Burying the Ghosts is based on the true story of the author’s mother who escaped Nazi territories. The story spans five decades from her youth to her later years when past ghosts are finally put to rest. It explores themes of prejudice, refugees and identity, mother and daughter relationships, forgiveness and guilt. When the whole world is against you, what can daughters expect of their mothers, mothers of their daughters and lovers of each other?
