Kaddish for my Father, Flowers for my Mother is not just a testament to the remarkable lives of the author’s parents, Holocaust survivors Rosa and Gershon Lewkowicz. It’s a warning at a time of rising intolerance around the world.
Through courage and luck, they were among the tiny fraction of Poland’s three million Jews to survive Hitler’s industrial-scale extermination program.
During six years of Nazi occupation they faced and witnessed unspeakable cruelties. Losing their entire families.
And the Jew hatred and murderous violence didn’t end with the Nazi defeat in 1945. Rosa was seven months pregnant with their daughter, author Renée Levcovitch-McHale, during the worst of those post-war massacres. Only surviving the infamous Kielce pogrom because the mob thought she was Christian.
This gripping memoir explores Renée’s journey of discovery. She delves into the history of Jews in Poland, the factors behind antisemitism’s growth, and her parents’ lives before the Nazi invasion in 1939. Her trips to Poland led to new details of her father’s role as a resistance leader.
Renée hopes her parents’ story will serve notice to younger generations that they must confront hatred in all its forms.

"Just when it seems nothing new can be said about the Holocaust, Kaddish for my Father, Flowers for my Mother offers fresh insight and quiet courage. A powerful, necessary read." - Bernie M. Farber, Chair Emeritus The Canadian Anti-Hate Network
