Emergent Voices: Three Memoirs by U.S. War Orphans. Chapter Three: WWII War Orphans. War stories teach the living, soothe the wounded and honor the dead. In a war memoir, the storyteller willingly relives trauma and horror in his/her imagination. The telling of war stories is an act of bravery involving reliving emotional pain, suffering and loss. Who is willing to revive the painful memories of trauma and speak of death? I secretly want people to know that my father is one of the soldiers we were rememb...

Teachers weren't given any edict about avoiding discussion of the trial; it was just part of the constrained society in which we all lived. It was considered uncouth to discuss unpleasant topics. The trial that madeheadlines was largely ignored at dinner tables an...

Emergent Voices: Three Memoirs by U.S. War Orphans. Chapter One: Grief's Silence. I have been one of the unanchored survivors, imprisoned in silence and obstructed grief Gail Hosking Gilberg. How can we find out unless she speaks, and how can she speak unless we ask? We did not know. So, like society, we remained silent. We withdrew into our fears and fantasies, doing our best to ignore or accept our loss" (Lost in Victory xviii). Although both wars were fought within different cultural contexts, the fac...

Each building was the same, as was the lifestyle of those insideLooking normal is the mask an army base uses to survive. The children playing, the women in coffee klatches, the mailman delivering mail hide what a stranger might see if he entered one of those doors. (43).

Emergent Voices: Three Memoirs by U.S. War Orphans: Introduction
http://emergentvoices.blogspot.com/2008/04/introduction_05.html
Emergent Voices: Three Memoirs by U.S. War Orphans. I come to the subject of U.S. war orphans through a combination of personal experience and intellectual curiosity. I lost my father to the Vietnam War when I was twelve years old. The oldest of three girls, I fully remember the initial trauma and the insidious aftermath. Could explain the averted eyes, the painful silences from both friends and strangers when the news was told? Why had I been ashamed of him? I did not meet another war orphan until I was...

Emergent Voices: Three Memoirs by U.S. War Orphans. Chapter Six: The Current War. I believe that although these children are already expressing similar experiences, there is one noticeable difference: they are being interviewed by reporters, they are attending a Good Grief Camp organized by a non-profit civilian group, and their stories have already been published in several newspapers, magazines and online sources. There is a heightened concern for their plight. Subscribe to Post Comments [ Atom.
