Author: Post-Holocaust memoir is perfectly timed for COVID outbreak

Esther Safran Foer, of course, began her new memoir well before anyone predicted the coronavirus pandemic and its subsequent challenges.

But as she points out, the book I Want You To Know We're Still Here: A Post-Holocaust Memoir is incredibly timely and relevant, dealing as it does with issues of courage and resiliency.

Foer talked with NPR’s Michel Martin about the process of putting together the story of her parents’ life before they immigrated to the United States after surviving the Holocaust.

(And yes, she is related to novelist Jonathan Safran Foer — he’s her son.)
