Erin Einhorn

In a unique, intensely moving memoir, journalist Erin Einhorn pursues the story of a lifetime: to find the family in Poland who saved her mother from the Holocaust. But instead of a joyful reunion, Einhorn’s discoveries force her to navigate bitter crossroads between memory and truth.

Pages in BetweenErin Einhorn is a reporter for the New York Daily News, where she’s covered New York City’s government and the nation’s largest public school system. A contributor to public radio’s This American Life, Einhorn and her story were the basis for one of the show’s most popular episodes.
