Keeping Hannah Waiting - About the Author

The first-born child of two Holocaust survivors (a Polish father, an Hungarian mother), Dave Clarke spent much of his childhood and adult years trying to understand the Holocaust, what happened to his parents before and during those years, what meaning the Holocaust had for humanity, and his place and responsibilities to Holocaust victims and survivors as one of the first generation to bear that legacy.

The result of years of research and decades of contemplation, Keeping Hannah Waiting is Clarke's answer to “How do I contribute to the world's understanding of the Holocaust?”

With a background in literature and screenwriting, and his experience as an award-winning journalist, Clarke set out to craft a novel that adds something new to the canon of Holocaust literature, a work that takes the incomprehensible experience of 6 million victims and several hundred thousand survivors and personalizes it, focusing not on the horrors of the Holocaust itself, but instead, the lives that were led before and the piecing together of a shattered life afterward.

Clarke lives with his wife of more than 35 years in the San Francisco Bay Area.
