Lawner, Helen (2006). Surviving the Warsaw Ghetto : a three generational perspective. Reflections by Miriam Tisher and her children. Melbourne, Makor Jewish Community Library.

Helen Lawner, survivor of the Warsaw ghetto during World War II, gives a first-hand account of the events she lived through, her experiences and her many losses. Building on her mother's tragic account, Dr. Miriam Tisher, a Melbourne clinical psychologist and family therapist, explores her own responses to these experiences and reflects on her mother’s feelings during and after these horrific events. Miriam sensitively interweaves Helen's story and later life in Australia with her own second-generation childhood memories; and her children, ¬the third generation, ¬ share a dialogue on their own memories of their grandmother. This book is a unique contribution to the archive of Holocaust personal accounts, as well as a loving celebration of the courage and strength of one woman.
