A memoir about the Holocaust, generational trauma, and the process of discovering how little we know.

A sweeping history of three generations darkened by the long shadow of the Holocaust, The Cello Still Sings is a vivid, moving, and true story of secrets kept, of personal discovery, and of the power of music to heal and to unite.

The thought-provoking and original work centering on a grown son’s journey through his father’s horrifying ordeal during the Holocaust.

Winter Light is about a sequence of serendipitous rescues—an emotional rags-to-riches story spanning decades through the milestones of an unexpectedly fortuitous life. At its core stands a little girl buffeted by huge historical events which she didn’t live through personally but which marked her forever.

Growing up with an angry father and a distant mother, the author knew they had survived the Holocaust, but without a full understanding of what this really meant, or what it had truly cost them.

Discover little-known Holocaust history and a daughter’s quest to know how her father survived. Julie Brill unearths her family’s lost Serbian past, learns secrets, and returns to her dad a small part of what the Nazis stole: his own family history.
