THE STRANGER IN OUR HOUSE : GROWING UP WITH HOLOCAUST SURVIVORS : A MEMOIR
by Kathy Hoffstadter-Thal

I waited an awfully long time to get this book from the library and it wasn't all that it was cracked up to be. The author is the daughter of two Holocaust survivors from Hungary. Her father is quite the narcissist and psychotic. He doesn't give a damn about his family including his wife and treats them all miserably. Most of the time, he doesn't talk to any of them except with demands. He lives his life as if he is still in the army with regulations and rules that they all must abide by. It's a very disturbing read made worse by the fat that it's riddled with misspellings and punctuation errors. 
Not recommended.
