Two Roads Home: Hitler, Stalin, and the Miraculous Survival of My Family
Finkelstein, Daniel
F
Second-guessing life-or-death decisions with the hindsight of history is only natural, asserts British journalist Daniel Finkelstein in his unflinching and gripping family history “Two Roads Home: Hitler, Stalin and the Miraculous Survival of My Family.” But even the best guesses available to Jews, like his grandparents, seeking to escape Nazi Germany and Poland in the 1930s could not have forecast the devastatingly swift onslaught of broken promises and Axis military strikes that would so quickly result in the occupation of Allied countries, which were only a short time before considered “safe” from Hitler’s antisemitic persecution.

Into the For­est: A Holo­caust Sto­ry of Sur­vival, Tri­umph, and Love
Frankel, Rebecca
F
Rebec­ca Frankel’s Into the For­est: A Holo­caust Sto­ry of Sur­vival, Tri­umph, and Love helps read­ers grap­ple with the incom­pre­hen­si­bil­i­ty of the Shoah by telling the sur­vival sto­ry of one fam­i­ly: Miri­am, Mor­ris, Tania, and Rochel Rabi­nowitz, who escaped from the Zhetel ghet­to into the Białowieża For­est, where they hid for over two years. Read­ers will find that Into the For­est is metic­u­lous­ly researched and beau­ti­ful­ly writ­ten; weav­ing his­tor­i­cal facts with first-hand accounts, Frankel employs an almost nov­el­is­tic style that makes for a tru­ly com­pelling read.
