* Descendants of the Jewish Holocaust-the 600,000 of the 2nd Generation of Holocaust Survivors number 600,000 and the 130,000 of the 3rd Generation probably number about 130,000, as well as the greater Jewish worldwide population, which numbers 16 million, are a prime audience for this book

* The tens of millions of descendants of war world-wide will benefit from this book.

Industry Reviews

"My generation-the Inheritors, as Dr. Baack calls us-is searching for answers to the large questions that were never discussed in our families. My parents' experience of WWII was that of Canadian volunteers-my mother was an aid worker with the Red Cross in London and my father landed on Juno Beach on D-Day, winning the Military Cross for his efforts. They too had stories that were 'un-discussable,' and fears they tried unsuccessfully to hide. Throughout my life, I have tried to find a way to understand the impact these secrets had on our family and on me. Dr. Baack's research and 'construction of meaning' has given me language and a connection with others who have had similar experiences that has helped to lift this burden from my shoulders."

-Moira E. Grayson BEd, MEd, Teacher, Transition Consultant for First Nations, Saskatchewan, Canada

"Reading Dr. Baack's book as it evolved allowed me to understand the complexity and sheer brilliance of her work. At every moment I felt this was seminal work that would surely benefit the world on a very large scale."

-Danielle Silverman, MBA, MA, BCC, Editor and President, Vision Coach International

"For me, this book is the mother lode . . . I stayed up all night reading and crying and identifying for the first time with words and descriptions of what I have experienced my whole life. I realized there is nothing wrong with me. I read Eckhart Tolle's pain bodywork but nothing resonated like this. This will help me complete my own puzzle."

-Jeanie Keyes, artist

"Dr. Baack has broken new ground in social science research."

-John Rijsman, Dean, Social Science, Tilburg University, The Netherlands
