Kaddis, shopping time

Our parents are in us. Even if we’ve been fighting it all our lives. A poignant novel about the fate of a family fleeing the Shoah. Sarah and Ariel cannot get rid of their terrible past. Their life revolves around their son, Julien, who should live an unencumbered life for them but it fails. Julien leaves the homeland of the perpetrators and goes to Paris, where she works as a theater director. However, the disaster affecting his family is an unbearable burden for him too. Despite all the pain, it is only after the death of his parents that he has the opportunity to start Perla again and their child is born. Julien turns to this kid to save the dead from oblivion because there is no zero hour. For neither the victims nor the perpetrators. She tells the story of her parents, watching her son's bed one night. His account becomes a kaddis, a death prayer that he tries to break the silence of his family and wants to free the survivors from their nightmares. Michel Friedman was born in 1956 in Paris into a Polish-Jewish family. Her parents were Holocaust survivors on Schindler's list. Friedman has lived in Frankfurt am Main since 1965 and is a lawyer, politician, television moderator and publicist.
