Born in Basel in 1949, Rita Goldberg was brought up in the United States with time spent in Germany, where her father was an army psychiatrist.

Prof.Goldberg is now a lecturer in comparative literature at Harvard University.

“I am the child of a woman who survived the Holocaust not by the skin of her teeth but heroically,” writes Rita Goldberg.

Proud of her mother and yet struggling to forge an identity in the shadow of such heroic accomplishments (in a family setting that included close relationships with the iconic Frank family), Rita Goldberg reveals a little-explored aspect of Holocaust survival: the often-wrenching family and interpersonal struggles of the children and grandchildren whose own lives are haunted by historic tragedy.

Motherland is the culmination of a lifetime of reflection and a decade of research.

It is an epic story of survival, adventure, and new life.
