"Chaiton's fearless and moving memoir is a precious gift to anyone who yearns for a better understanding of intergenerational trauma and the path to true liberation." -- JEANNE BEKER, author, fashion editor, and television personalityA child of Holocaust survivors grapples with his parents' untold stories and their profound effect on the course of his extraordinary life.Growing up in Toronto, Sam Chaiton and his brothers knew their parents had been prisoners in Bergen-Belsen. But what their parents wouldn't share about their history -- including the fact they had also been in Auschwitz -- ended up shaping their children's lives. We Used to Dream of Freedom explores what a family is or could be; the psychology of survivors and the impact of survivor silence on their family; and the responsibility of second generations from traumatized communities to share knowledge from their own histories to help alleviate the suffering of others. Irreverent, moving, and tragic, often all at once, at its heart it is a story of a man who disappeared on his family, his quest to understand why he had to leave, and the long-overdue discovery about his parents that brought him back.

In this highly personal account of his life and work, Diamond shares how he came to be the founder of the leading architecture firm Diamond Schmitt. From hitchhiking two thousand kilometres at age sixteen from South Africa to Rhodesia; to heading off to university, where he had considerable rugby success, first closer to home in Cape Town, then at Oxford and the University of Pennsylvania; to landing in Toronto, where he founded Diamond Schmitt, one of Canada's largest and most successful architecture firms, Diamond has led an extraordinary life. Context and Content provides insights into some of Diamond's seminal architectural projects, including the new Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg, the most significant building in Russia in decades; Jerusalem's City Hall; and Toronto's Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts, which has some of the best acoustics in the world. Diamond's work and influence can be seen from New York to Texas, Vancouver to Montreal, where context and content interplay in his buildings. A world-renowned architect, his memoir is evidence of a life well spent."--

Over its long history, the Horseshoe has seen a flood of talent pass through. From Willie Nelson to Loretta Lynn, Stompin' Tom Connors to The Band, and Bryan Adams to the Tragically Hip, the Horseshoe has attracted premier acts from all eras of music.
