Robin Hirsch was born in London during the Blitz to German Jews who had escaped Hitler Coming of age in postwar England with Germanspeaking parents he learned very quickly the ironies of survival his best friend at school an English Jew at the age of six called him a NaziIn these memoirs which span more than fifty years and which shift from Berlin to Brooklyn from Amsterdam to Buenos Aires from Shanghai to West Virginia from Jerusalem to Beverly Hills Hirsch wrestles with his ambiguous heritage assembling the jigsaw puzzle both of his own life and of a larger life which was once whole but which was deracinated decimated and scattered across the globeAs Hirsch taps into the shared consciousness of this farflung community he discovers that the violence of the Holocaust can breed in the survivor a myriad of responses despair silence anger a reciprocal violence a reverence or an appetite for life and on occasion mirabile dictu a sense of humorWith a similar mixture of feelings and with considerable humor he conjures up the costume ball at Berlins Hotel Kempinski where his parents first met he relives with an uncle the horrors of Auschwitz and the miracle of his aunts survival he submits his infant son to the terrifying ritual of circumcisionThe journey across boundaries and generations enables Hirsch to connect with his European past to achieve a hardearned measure of peace in the New World and finally to forgive his parents What were their lives like before us what had they given up what had they lost what out of the turmoil and the violence and the displacement had they managed to salvage what now in the shadow of this history did they feel they had accomplished The answer Last Dance suggests is found in the indomitable human spirit
