Product Description

Product Description
This memoir of Jewish family history is also a documentation of atrocities inflicted by the fascist militia during the German occupation of Eastern Europe. It is a personal account of the legacy of the Holocaust.

From the Publisher
Naryshkin Park is a place where lovers once walked...
... on 2 October 1941 it became the site of a mass grave.

In Zhager, a small town on the Lithuanian-Latvian border, over 3000 Jewish men, women and children were massacred on 2 October 1941, by members of the Lithuanian militia. They lie in a mass grave in Naryshkin Park, the heart of the shetl.

Last Walk in Naryshkin Park is the story of Rose ZwiÕs quest to discover the fate of her fatherÕs family who perished in the Holocaust, and that of her uncle Leib Yoffe- musician, lover, barber, soldier, revolutionary.

Moving, passionate, thought-provoking. More than a family history, more thatn an account of a massacre, Last Walk in Naryshkin Park asks questions which resonate from 1940s Lithuania to Cambodia, Bosnia, Rwanda.

Rose Zwi was born in Mexico, lived in London and Israel but spent most of her life in South Africa. She has lived in Australia since 1988. Author of five novels, she has won several prizes for her work, including the 1994 Human Rights Award for her novel Safe Houses and the 1982 Olive Schreiner Award for Anotrher Year in Africa.

4.0 out of 5 stars Rosa Zwi traces her roots to Zagare, Lithuania. Interesting, 12 April 1999
By A Customer
Rosa Zwi traces her roots back to a small town in Lithuania. Her family had fled Zagare to escape the rising anti-Sematism in Lithuania in the years leading up to WW11. Most of the family that remained were trapped in Lithuania, and were murdered by local Lithuanians and/or Nazis. The book is invaluable in telling the story of Jews from the town of Zagare, almost all of whom were murdered. There is no-one left to tell me the story of my own relatives from Zagare who are likely to be in the mass graves in Naryshkin Park. Thank you Rosa Zwi for sharing your journey back in time. The book is well written and easy to read.
