Summary:
"This epic and wrenching memoir tells of
two
happy families uprooted by World War II, their suffering under
Hitler
and
Stalin
, and the bravery, luck and spirit of resistance that led to the
miraculous
survival
of Daniel Finkelstein's mother and father. In '
Two
Roads
Home
' beloved British journalist Daniel Finkelstein tells the extraordinary story of the years before his mother met his father -- years of war and trials they barely survived. Daniel Finkelstein's grandfather was a German Jewish intellectual who tolled an early warning of the impending Holocaust and became an archivist of Nazi crimes. He relocated his
family
to safety in Amsterdam, where they knew Anne Frank. But in those years, safety was an illusion: Anne Frank famously went into hiding and Daniel's mother, Mirjam, also a child, was sent to Bergen-Belsen with her mother and sisters. Finkelstein's father, Ludwik, grew up in a prosperous Jewish
family
in Poland; his father, Dolu was a patriotic veteran of the Great War. But when
Stalin
took control, Dolu, was deported to Siberia, and Ludwik and his mother were sentenced to forced labor in Kazakhstan, where they froze and starved in a hut made from cow dung. '
Two
Roads
Home
' is a page-turning account of the narrow escapes, forged passports, ingenuity, bravery, and luck that allowed Mirjam and Ludwik to survive the war and find each other. Using their personal testimony, letters sent to Siberia, a diary written in Belsen and years of historical research, Daniel Finkelstein tells what happened to
two
families, one the victim of the Nazis, the other of the Soviets. A tale of deliverance and triumph over evil, [the book] will profoundly touch all who read it."--Jacket.
