Living among the Dead - Adena Bernstein Astrowsky
HILARY’S INTRODUCTION
I have been a teacher for almost thirty years. I would consider myself lucky with my career. I am an educator who loves to teach. It is my passion. There have been so many changes that have happened in education throughout my career. You learn to be flexible and change directions in mid-stream.
This is why when I noticed a friend’s post on social media about a new Holocaust memoir entitled Living among the Dead: My Grandmother’s Holocaust Survival Story of Love and Strength, I purchased it.
I teach an intensive history of the Holocaust class every year for high school students. I am lucky that I have a lot of discretion in the curriculum for the class, and after reading Living among the Dead, I selected it as one of the texts. Because I was so impressed with the book, I reached out to Adena, the author, and explained how I planned on using her book in my class and asked if she would be willing to speak with my students. Because we were all online for school at the time, this was not difficult. Adena met online with my class one day and introduced the book, speaking about her grandmother and their relationship. Over the next two weeks, my class and I read the memoir together and discussed the Holocaust in sequential order using it as a guide.

Using this book as a guide, I could teach almost everything I would normally teach while pulling from other resources to add deeper context and historical perspective. On the last day of class, Adena once again met online with my students. This time it was for reflection about the book. The students loved the book and had many comments and questions for her. It was a very unique and rewarding experience for all of us.
Fast forward to the beginning of the summer of 2021, and I was scheduled to go on a trip to Poland and Ukraine, and at the very last minute, I had space to take someone with me. Adena volunteered to go. She was extremely excited because she knew from our continued correspondence that I had already planned on going to all of the places she had written about in Living among the Dead. What a perfect way to be able to dive deeper into such a difficult subject. Adena, her young daughter, and I visited all of the areas discussed in Living among the
