PRAISE FOR “DO NOT DISCLOSE”

“Although written as a memoir, this book has all the suspense of a detective novel…Along the way, (Krygier) proves to be a master of the slow reveal. Krygier also has a vibrant prose style and an eye for fine detail. This richly detailed memoir will particularly appeal to those whose imaginations are fired by genealogy and historical research. A captivating story smartly recounted.” - Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review)

“ A beautiful blend of the most painful part of history and a strong woman’s story, Do Not Disclose follows Leora, whose life is a whirlwind of judging juvenile court cases, taking care of her family, as well as her elderly parents. She’s also a second-generation Holocaust survivor with no idea just how deeply the ambiguity of her family’s past affects her. That is, until she comes across a WWII postcard in a thrift shop that causes her to uncover a bit more than she ever wanted to know.” - Sheknows.com, 15 must-read memoirs for Fall 2021

“ Do Not Disclose is hard to put down, a haunting, poetic journey, the search for lost childhood, like a letter from someone we did not want to see anymore, no want to open for the fear of finding inside it – a truth.” - John Bernstein, prize-winning screenwriter, playwright and Professor of Holocaust in Film and Israeli Cinema at the Elie Wiesel Center for Jewish Studies.

“Leora Krygier is an exquisite writer and Do Not Disclose is her masterpiece. In lyrical prose, she recounts the bittersweet journey of excavating the truth in her own family and that of a complete stranger. When astonishing twists and turns lead her on a path she never expected to travel, she stays the course with courage and commitment and ultimately finds her way home.” -  Linda Schreyer, award-winning screenwriter and author of Tears and Tequila.
