| Title |
A Canadian-Born Holocaust Survivor: Identity and Continuity
|
| Abstract |
The author analyses the life of her mother, Jennie Lifschitz (1924-2005), a Montreal-born Holocaust survivor who, after internment in the Liepaja ghetto in Latvia and a number of concentration camps, was repatriated to Canada in March 1946. It describes Lifschitz's experiences as a survivor, focusing on her reintegration into Canadian life after the Holocaust and her relationship to the Jewish communities of Montreal and Vancouver, where she lived in the postwar years. Lifschitz's life is examined in the context of several theories of integration, none of which, the author argues, provides a satisfactory model in relation to her mother's complex and unique personal circumstances. The author contends that an analysis of Lifschitz life from the perspective of multiple identity theory provides a better fit.
