That night, she packed some clothes and fled her house in Skokie, Illinois, convinced that someone was trying to kill her. This was the first indication that she was suffering from late-onset post traumatic stress disorder, a little-known condition that can emerge decades after the initial trauma. For Howard, it was also the opening of a window onto his mother's past. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In\u003ci\u003e Prisoner of Her Past, \u003c\/i\u003e Howard Reich has written a moving memoir about growing up as the child of Holocaust survivors and finding refuge from silence and fear in the world of jazz.
