Growing Up White in Segregated South Africa
Why write a memoir?
To capture the stories of your life and the times you’ve lived through, to understand the forces that have shaped you, and to preserve your legacy for generations to come. My memoir, Behind The Walled Garden of Apartheid: Growing Up White in Segregated South, depicts the distinctive sensual and visual textures of South Africa of the 1940s, 50s and 60s, capturing the spirit of the time and place. Intimate portraits of my Jewish family and their lives shed light on South Africa’s iniquitous Apartheid system, evoking the cruel ambiguities between races living together yet apart. At the conclusion of my memoir, I explore what lead me to leave my family and my privileged life to immigrate to the United States. The memoir can be purchased on line at Amazon.com and can be downloaded as an e-book from Kindle Store.
