twin brothers separated by faith after the Holocaust
Pogany, Eugene
2001
The author discusses the broken relationship between his father and uncle, twins born Jewish and raised Catholic whose Holocaust experiences--one found shelter in a monasticcommunity while the other was interned in a Nazi camp--set them on different spiritual paths and led each to see the other as a traitor to the family faith.
Frank, a troubled, somewhat desperate, Italian American, works long hours in the grocery store of a struggling Jewish family in a Brooklyn neighborhood where he develops a secret passion for his employer's attractive daughter.
