SOUNDLESS ROAR

After saying goodbye to her parents and sister, fifteen-year-old Ava Hegedish moved onto a remote farm near Belgrade where she hid for four years to avoid Nazi deportation. Some sixty years later, Ava reflected on her war experiences through drawings, poems, and short stories in her acclaimed book Soundless Roar. Here, with Ava's permission, Unsilence presents excerpts of her work—moments where Ava's experiences as a Jewish target and survivor of Nazism overlap with the stories of the so-called "other" victims of the Holocaust. Yet, as Ava reveals to us, these are not merely "other" victims; they have stories of their own.
