"A work of eloquence and compassion."-- John Skow, "Time" "A work of eloquence and compassion."--John Skow, "Time" "A beautifully written (and beautifully translated) memoir of a tragic childhood."-- "New Yorker" "Friedlander undertakes an evocative journey into his past that is likely to leave many a reader shaken."--Amos Elon, "New York Times Book Review" "A work of eloquence and compassion." John Skow, "Time"" "A tender elegy which moves from the Israeli present to the European past, from fear to memory, in a mosaic of Proustian images." "New Republic"" "The most remarkable feature of "When Memory Comes" is its composure, an elegance that is unnerving. Friedlander describes his experiences in lean, graceful sentences; his language seems armored against the dissolution it describes." Leon Wieseltier, "The New York Review of Books"" "A beautifully written (and beautifully translated) memoir of a tragic childhood." "New Yorker"" "Friedlander undertakes an evocative journey into his past that is likely to leave many a reader shaken." Amos Elon, "New York Times Book Review"" "Friedla nder undertakes an evocative journey into his past that is likely to leave many a reader shaken."-- Amos Elon, "New York Times Book Review"
