Chaya Rosen

Chaya Rosen, a daughter of Holocaust survivors, explores what she sees as the "silent sounds and shadows"—a legacy inherited by children of the post Holocaust era. Her life-long interest in the Holocaust has included teaching, participation in projects to interview survivors, and most recently, the founding of a forum for Second Generation artists: Art and Writings of Destruction and Repair.

Chaya Rosen was born in Poland, before moving to Israel and later to the United States. In her efforts to retrace her family’s roots, she managed to locate her parents’ former homes, the ghetto from where they escaped several liquidation roundups, and the bunkers in the forest where they hid for two years.

In the Shadow of God, her third poetry book is a thoughtful and self-reflective journey. The book continues the journey begun in Streaming Light and Scattered Stones, and captures the traumatic impact of loss and memory as it affects children of survivors. An expert in Knowledge Management, Chaya Rosen holds a Bachelor of Arts in Communication and a Master of Science in Organizational Management.
