Zosha Palovsky, born in a German Displaced Persons camp and raised in Brooklyn’s Washington Heights, rejects a traditional yeshiva and instead joins a Latina gang, challenging the expectations of her family. Through her daring, outspoken narrative voice, Zosha confronts the shadow of her parents’ past, the memory of Auschwitz, and the tensions between heritage and personal freedom. The collection provides insight into the complexities of identity, memory, and resilience within the Jewish diaspora.
