Publisher's summary

Not many people peer over the abyss, but Elke Babicki's family did. Her German grandfather objected to Hitler and as a result, ended up in a concentration camp while her mother’s family became destitute. Elke's father, Alex, who was born into a well-educated and wealthy Jewish family in Poland, spent five years in concentration camps before making his escape just before the end of the war. Alex who had lost his family, wealth, country and opportunity for education, met his wife, a Bavarian Catholic and stayed in Germany. A war that should have driven Babicki's parents apart actually brought them together to create an uncommon, Catholic-Jewish life. Elke, their daughter was born into a world of love, conflicting religious identities, PTSD, resilience and determination - this is her story.

Elke Babicki, M.Ed., R.C.C. has been a consultant to corporations, and a clinical counsellor in private practice in Toronto and Vancouver, Canada for over thirty years. She has led workshops and sessions in Europe and Canada to help thousands of people claim more power in their lives. Elke was recognized in 2011 with the Women of Worth Leader of the Year Award for her work in supporting and inspiring women across the globe. She lives with her husband, Matt, an engineer and inventor, by the ocean in West Vancouver, British Columbia. Identity - From Holocaust to Home was published in Germany as Uebern Ozean in 2017 with great success. elkebabicki.com

Critic reviews

"A beautifully written and most unusual contribution to the literature of the Holocaust. Elke Babicki weaves an amazing story of survival and heroism in Nazi Germany, addressing the tyranny of PTSD, the fragility of identity and the life-altering vagaries of fortune. Identity demonstrates the tragic reach of the Holocaust, and the courage of all survivors and their children." —R. D. Rosen.
