In his intimate and profoundly moving Jewish family historyâa memoir of displacement, prejudice, hope, despair, and loveâaward-winning New York Times columnist Roger Cohen turns a compassionate and discerning eye on the legacy of his own forebears. Beginning in the nineteenth century and continuing through to the present day, Cohen tracks his familyâs story of repeated upheaval, four generations of wandering from pre-Shoah Lithuania to apartheid-era South Africa, and then to England, the United States, and Israel.
At the heart of Cohenâs story is the powerful bond he had with his mother, the âgirlâ forced to travel far from home. Tormented by a deep depression yet stoic in her struggle, she embodied her sonâs complex inheritance. Graceful, honest, and sweeping, The Girl from Human Street is a remarkable chronicle of the quest for belonging across generations, a gripping saga, and a resonant portrait of identity and memory in the modern age.
