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."--From publisher.
