Dry Tears Summary

Dry Tears: The Story of a Lost Childhood by Nechama Tec (Professor of Sociology, Professor of Sociology, University of Connecticut, Stamford)

This is the true story of Nechama Tec, whose family found refuge with Polish Christians during the Holocaust. Dry Tears is a dramatic tale of how an eleven-year-old child learned to pass in the forbidding Christian world and a quietly moving coming-of-age story. This book is unique celebration of the best human qualities that surface under the worst conditions.

Dry Tears Reviews

A compelling account. Quite accessible. * Michele Bisbey, St. Vincent College *
A beautifully written and poignant account of what it was like for a young girl to be passing as a Gentile in Nazi-occupied Poland. * Evan Hunter *
Dry Tears moves me beyond words....[It] conveys an immediate sense of what [living under the Holocaust] was like, and does so strongly, even nobly, without a trace of self-pity....My admiration has no bounds. * Robert K. Merton, Columbia University *
Render[s] with such honest yet compassionate detail the struggle of Jews to 'pass' as Christians among anti-Semitic people who sheltered them, loved them, lived off them, and finally, after the war, were ashamed rather than proud of having taken [them] in. * Geoffrey Hartman, Yale University *
A story of human resilience...made all the more remarkable because it is seen through the eyes of a young girl who bore herself beyond the promise of her years. * Rabbi Alexander M. Schindler, President, Union of American Hebrew Congregations *
