Created from a combination of survivor testimony, research, and imagination, When Crying Stops tells a story about the Glattshteyns of Chernowitz, Romania, Meier, Golde, and Chane, how they were drawn into the war in the 1920s and 1930s and survived until today. It is rich with first-hand experience, historical perspectives, reflections on resilience and human endurance, and a thoughtful look at war, oppression, and loss.
