& laquo; I blame Auschwitz. Family stories & raquo; & ndash; it is a book about the Holocaust, but not a direct one, but in the second generation. Its protagonists are the children of single Jews who survived Europe after the war. Often these children learned about what their parents had to go through when they were very old. Sometimes only after the death of parents. Usually they do not understand the meaning of such words as uncle and uncle, aunt and cousin, because for them these are purely theoretical concepts. Each of the 24 stories they tell can be turned into a novel. However, Nikolai Greenberg does not do this & ndash; and the reader receives the quintessence of the fate of people who, having not experienced Nazi persecution in their own experience, are still affected by post-traumatic stress disorder.
The translator thanks the editor-in-chief of the newspaper "Young Bukovinian" Bohdan Zagaisky, without whom the path of this book to the Ukrainian reader would be much longer.
