I Want You to Know We’re Still Here by Esther Safran Foer is a memoir about a new generation looking into a traumatic family history and the memories that have been suppressed in order to survive.

A fascinating dive into the life of a child who was born to holocaust survivors. An exploration of how this echoes down the generations as well as what the family actually experienced. Also good to find out where truth and fiction divided in Jonathan Saran Foer's Everything Is Illuminated,

I don't think that this is a typical family of holocaust survivors from Ukraine but there is a difference between blood relatives and found families..
