About the Book

These poems are part of my attempt as a Gentile to deal with the Holocaust, ultimately a doomed effort. Perhaps I am driven by a kind of survivor guilt as one who by the accident of the time, location and ethnicity of my birth in one sense was completely unscathed by the Holocaust, but whose world became inescapably haunted by it. And there is always that terrifying, unanswerable question of what role I would have played if I had been born a German instead of an American. I offer these poems for whatever value they may have to survivors, perpetrators, bystanders like myself, and the generations that follow who must grapple with this history. I have been encouraged by the responses of readers, especially those whose stories I have nervously and presumptuously used, and by editors who have published some of the poems. "Not I," "Metamorphosis," "Watching a Holocaust Drama on Television," "Lodz, USA," and "Ethnic Cleansing" appeared in Internet on the Holocaust and Genocide. "January 27, 1945" appeared in ORIM: A Jewish Journal at Yale.
About the Author: Tom Greening was educated at Yale, the University of Vienna, and the University of Michigan. He was a psychologist in private practice in the same office for 58 years, and is a retired professor from Saybrook University, UCLA, and Pepperdine. He was Editor of the Journal of Humanistic Psychology for 35 years. He is a Fellow of five divisions of the American Psychological Association and Poet Laureate of the International Society for Ethical Psychology and Psychiatry. A book of his poems, "Words Against the Void," was published by the University of the Rockies Press and translated into Russian. A bilingual book of poems about his five trips to Russia is titled "Tolstoy's Lament." His office was located in the 'Teherangeles' section of Los Angeles where he became acquainted with Persian culture and customs. He aspires to become as wise as Nasreddin the Psychologist but has made little progress. His most recent books are "Animals I Have Known," "Jazz Poems," & "War Poems: Reflections by a Fortunate American."
