Magda's Daughter
By:Evi Blaikie
Published on 2003 by Feminist Press at CUNY
To survive the long shadow of the Third Reich, many children were placed in hiding, forced to keep their true identities--names, religion, places of birth, even gender--secret. Among these |hidden children| was Evelyne Juliette, born in Paris to privileged Hungarian immigrants of high intellect and great passion. Scarcely a year following her birth, France would fall to the Nazis, plunging Europe further into chaos and placing Evi's family among hundreds of thousands on the run. Herfather, forced to go underground, never again emerged. Her mother, the indomitable Magda, managed to send her young daughter to temporary safety before being imprisoned in a forced labor camp. Evi, just barely three, was eventually brought by an aunt to Budapest under her cousin's passport. |Claude Pollak| would be only the first of many false identities assumed to protect the shattered remnants of this young child's life. Brimming with novelistic detail, vivid characterizations, and a sharply observed emotional terrain,Magda's Daughter depicts, in the words of the author herself, the life of a |perpetual refugee,| forced by historical circumstance to live in rootless exile, while yearning for something she never really knew--life |before.| Evi Blaikie, a gifted storyteller, writes against the limits of language and defies traditional definitions of |survivorship,| while reminding us that no war is ever over until the last survivor is gone.
