Daughters of Absence is a collection of twelve essays written by daughters of Holocaust survivors. Each chapter is a contribution from a female author, poet, artist, musician, filmmaker, comedienne, playwright, etc. The authors not only tell about their own personal experiences as daughters of Holocaust survivors, but many essays also include accounts from their parents of horrific experiences during the Holocaust.Despite the unique pressures of being the daughters of "survivors," the contributors have thrived and made the most of their lives, but not in stereotypical ways. Instead, they chose ways that combine compassion with courage, and success with celebration. The result is an uplifting and very inspiring book from a group of very inspiring women.The contributors include editor Mindy Weisel, an artist whose works are on display at museums around the world; Helen Epstein, author of Children of the Holocaust; Aviva Kempner, producer of the films The Partisans of Vilna and The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg; Lily Brett, the only writer who has won Australia's highest awards for fiction and poetry; photographer Vera Loeffler; poet Miram Morsel Nathan; and Hadassah Lieberman, wife of Senator Joe Lieberman. The introduction is by Eva Fogelman, author of Conscience & Courage: Rescuers of Jews during the Holocaust. This book has been used in the classroom and at seminars and conferences. Previously available only in a hard cover edition, it is now available in trade paperback and e-book editions. Highly recommended because of its unique perspective on the Holocaust and because each chapter demonstrates the strength of the human spirit.

Dream of Things

This is the story of the summer that artist Mindy Weisel was given a fellowship of one month at the Virginia Center for Creative Arts, furloughed from the demands of everyday life. There, surrounded by acres of country fields and a deep great silence, she was free to paint as much and whenever she chose. This lyrical journal explores her challenge to deal directly with the many kinds of quiety she discovered there. On one day of excruciating silence, for instance, we read how she painted a storm. On another morning, in response to the beauty outside her light-filled studio, we discover with her the calm rural landscape she then painted. All twelve of the critically acclaimed paintings in the “Touching Quiet” series are featured in full color in the book, visually tracing the pattern and sense of place and understanding she found during this one momentous month of solitude. “Never have I felt more fulfilled,” she says. “And with nowhere to run, I did touch quiet.”

"As daughters of Holocaust survivors, we were buds growing from nearly dead branches," writes artist Mindy Weisel in 'Daughters of Absence,' "But we are the daughters of the future. We turned to the artistic and the creative expressions of life’s beauty in celebrating their survival." In this moving tribute, a distinguished group of creative women collaborate to reveal what it was like to grow up in the shadow of their parents’ Holocaust ordeal and how they transformed that legacy into the beauty of their films, art, photographs, poems, stories, and lives. So much has been written about the horrors -- this book is a moving tribute to the human spirit.

Now in paperback - the book that Susan Tumarkin Goodman of the Jewish Museum New York praised: "Mindy Weisel and the other daughters of Holocaust survivors have provided us with extraordinary insights. "The solemn beauty of their sagas and the triumph over the past is a gift to their parents, who survived and rebuilt their lives, and to those millions who did not." Peter Novick, author of The Holocaust in America, professor of history at The University of Chicago, described it as: "Each in her own genre, these ‘daughters of absence’ trace - with great skill, great courage, and great candor - their journey from a ghost-ridden past to a fulfilling present."
