4Choosing life  Mar 13, 2009
By Karen A. Olson
Miriam Raskin is an eloquent writer. Through prose, poetry, and short story, she sorts and sifts through the passage of personal history as a German Jewish refugee with family and fate remaining in Hitler's hands. Indeed, is it fate that she writes about with such a determined edge, or is it the unquestionable responsibility we have for each other to live and live well? Raskin ponders human suffering and glorious human living. Forgetting and Remembering is about living and questioning life.

4Touching  Jun 23, 2008
By Susan K. Weissman "Susan Weissman"
Miriam Raskin writes with a raw and vivid honesty as she describes her childhood in Germany and the life (hers) that ensues. She has a great ability to make you understand the sensibilities of her perspective as a 5 year old, 8 year old, etc. while at the same time sharing her perspective as she reflects back from adulthood. You get them both at once. Naturally the initial setting, fleeing from Nazi Germany and the impact these early experiences have on her life are tender and touching. But it isn't depressing -- there's a vibrancy, a challenge there that makes this books a very enjoyable read.
