A memoir of family and the enduring impact of the Holocaust with Caroline Heller

Professor Caroline Heller's book, Reading Claudius: A Memoir in
Two Parts, explores not only her family's experiences during
World War II, but also how the Holocaust affected her own life as
the child of a concentration camp survivor. In this interview,
she talks about her family history with Rachel Kadish, author of
the award-winning novel The Weight of Ink.
