Esther Safran Foer grew up in a family with a past too terrible to talk about. The Holocaust was the background in which she ran her daily life - it was there, but nobody mentioned it - because her parents were the only survivors of their respective families. Esther's childhood was marked by painful silences and a tragic air. Even with a successful career, her marriage, and her three children, Esther always felt something was slipping away from her. Everything changed the day Esther's mother revealed a secret buried years ago: her father had had a wife and a daughter who were killed in the Holocaust. Esther then decides to find out who those women were and how her father survived. With just a black and white photo and a hand-drawn map, the author travels to Ukraine, determined to find the shtetl where her father hid during the war. What she finds there will reshape her identity and a chance to finally grieve. We're Still Here is the moving story of four generations who lived in the shadow of the Holocaust; four generations of survivors, custodians of memory willing that the past is not lost in oblivion.
