A lyrical memoir of living under, and escaping from,
anti-Semitism and the tyranny of communism."There are scenes in this book that the reader will never
forget."--Mircea EliadeWith a new Afterword by the author and a new Introduction
by bestselling historian Wilfred M. McClayIn Notes from the Other Side of Night, Juliana Geran
Pilon provides a beautiful memoir of a return to her native Romania in 1975,
which she left with her family when she was just fourteen. Poetically weaving
together hard-won adult insights with her childhood perceptions, Pilon tells
the haunting stories of her parents, grandparents, neighbors, and friends. She
recounts the chilling realities of anti-Semitism, political imprisonment, and
judicial execution under Romania's ruthless communist authorities. And she
remembers those few who managed to retain their humanity despite the horrors
that surrounded them.Told with detached melancholy, the result is a book full of
political and spiritual wisdom. At a time when the totalitarian crimes of the
last century are being minimized, if not entirely ignored, Pilon's meditation
on evil, hope, and love is profoundly moving.
