Description
Story of Norwegian born Berman Her first recollection of life goes back to 1942, when as a young child she escaped to Sweden, to avoid annihilation. Seven members of her father's family were among the seven hundred and seventy-one people who were deported and sent to Auschwitz. In 2005 Irene was forced to examine the label of being a Holocaust survivor. Her strong dual identity as a Norwegian and a Jew led her to explore previously unopened doors in her mind.
