Holocaust survivor Éva Fahidi's memoir encompasses her entire life, lived through almost the entire twentieth century and well into the twenty-first. This story cannot but encompass also the entire life and demise of many other Hungarian and European families and communities.īorn in 1925, Éva Fahidi recounts in her Soul of Things - Memoir of a Youth Interrupted the story of the twentieth century including disastrous mega-destruction events and ever-optimistic attempts to reconstruct and rehabilitate humanity, compassion, and humor, despite all. "Éva Fahidi's Soul of Things Memoir of a Youth Interrupted is a gripping, circular story that starts and ends with the Holocaust as experienced by the author in her young age and then as re-visited by her and her past campmates.
