Esty G. Hayim, daughter of Holocaust survivors, was born in Israel. She studied theater and acting at Tel Aviv University and performed in leading theater houses in Israel.

She writes about the ongoing battle of first generation Holocaust survivors with their memories and guilt, and with the complicated role of the second generations as their parents' protectors.
