"…what is remarkable about this book is its emphasis on the science
of trauma and how that theme is woven in with poetry and personal
memoir." — Scene4
"This is an extraordinary work. The result of several decades of
labor, rooted in both scientific and humanistic learning and
research, it is a transformative book that speaks equally to our
current situation and to the past." — Michael C. Steinlauf, author
of Bondage to the Dead: Poland and the Memory of the Holocaust
