Daughter of Holocaust survivor shares experiences By Frank McClearv Kansan staff writer "It's OK," she said, "I always got off at Macy's." "It's OK," she said, "I always go off at Macy's." The subway story is one Lipkin tells in the presentations she goes across the United States about growing up as the daughter of a Holocaust survivor. About 65 people at Smith Hall auditorium listened to Lipkin tell her tales laced with humor and pathos. The audience responded at times with alternating laughter and silence. The stories that she told were not learned easily — or often. "Part of my mother's past was so black I was not allowed to know anything about it," Lipkin said. "There was a big part of me that wanted to horde my mother's stories — they were told so rarely." Lipkin said that she always practiced in her mind how she would outwit all the Nazis that her mother told her about. She said she remembered one summer time she and her boyfriend, Romy, were on the way to a swimming hole with Ronny's father, also a Holocaust survivor. The father was driving them when they came upon a road block. Although the road block was for construction purposes, Lipkin said Ronny's father had the two children hide beneath a flannel blanket while he talked his way out of the road block. Lipkin said that while growing up, the most basic and joyous things became symbolic. Food was particularly important to her mother, she said. "It's not just food," Lipkin said. "It's a symbol of survival." Lipkin was going to eat some chicken one day when she noticed that there was some green coloration around the head. Assuming that it was mold, she almost threw it away. Her mother nearly had a heart attack. That green coloration was almost $200 in bills that her mother had hidden in the head of the chicken. Her mother told her, "You never know when they're going to take you away." Lipkin, who never studied the Holocaust in either public or Hebrew school, visited the site of the Dachau concentration camp when she was 18. "It reminded me of the aggressiveness of life," she said. "It was very helpful to me to go." Lipkin said that talking about the Holocaust was overshadowed by the event itself. "No matter how much you talk about it, nothing can compare to the horrors of the Holocaust," she said. "You are always living in the shadow of this evil." Lipkin told of a search for a sweater and a scarf that her mother had worn while in the concentration camp. She found the items in a Holocaust survivor's warehouse in Baltimore, Md., in April. Although she was supposed to wear gloves while handling the objects, Lipkin did not. "I touched the scarf," she said. "It was so much softer than I thought. I put my head down on it and felt it against my cheek. I started to cry. "I know that finding these objects was like a flash of light. I could go back and take my appropriate place in the shadow."
