Lederman, Marsha (Western arts correspondent).

Kiss the red stairs : the Holocaust, once removed / Marsha Lederman. - Toronto : McClelland & Stewart, 2022. - xv, 173 p. ; 22 cm.

Includes bibliographical references.

Marsha Lederman always knew her parents were different, and at five, she learned why: in the kitchen, her mother sat her down and explained about the Holocaust. Decades later, her parents dead and a mother to her own young son, Marsha is reeling in the wake of her divorce. She wants her parents' help, but in their absence, she is gripped by a need to understand the trauma that shaped them, and she begins her own journey into the past, to tell her parents' stories of loss and survival. The book is a compelling memoir of Holocaust survival, inherited trauma, divorce and discovery that will reassure readers as they navigate their own monumental change."
