"Don't Cry, Dance" is a poignant memoir interweaving three compelling narratives. Janka recounts her harrowing experiences as a young Polish girl enduring the horrors of Nazi occupation and her time in Auschwitz-Birkenau. Alberto, a spirited Spanish-Greek Jew, shares his survival story from Auschwitz and Mauthausen. Their daughter, Nina, an Australian community artist, adds her voice, exploring her parents' past and her journey to understand their history and the impact it had on their lives.
The book celebrates Janka and Alberto's resilience, their love story, and their new life in Sydney, underpinned by tolerance and acceptance. Nina's artistic path and her dedication to community service further enrich this multi-layered family saga, reminding us of the importance of remembrance and forgiveness. It explores themes of war, love, and reconciliation, told with honesty and emotion.
