Daniel Finkelstein's grandfather Alfred Wiener was a German Jewish intellectual leader 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 became close with Anne Frank's family. But they were eventually separated, and Daniel's mother Mirjam was sent to Bergen-Belsen with her mother and sisters while Alfred worked feverishly to free them. Finkelstein's father, Ludwik, grew up in a prosperous Jewish family in Poland where his father was a patriotic hero of the Great War. But when Stalin took control, Finkelstein's grandfather was deported to Siberia, while Ludwik and his mother were sent to Kazahkstan, where they barely survived freezing winters and harrowing forced labor conditions. Two Roads Home is a page-turning account of ingenuity, bravery and the almost unbelievable coincidences that brought Daniel's parents together. The story features secret archives, forgery and theft, and sweeps across Europe to show the expanse of the war. Moving, engrossing and inspiring, Two Roads Home will profoundly touch all who read it"-- |cProvided by publisher. 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 600 10 Finkelstein, Mirjam, |d1933-2017. 600 10 Finkelstein, Ludwik, |d1929-2011. 600 30 Wiener family. 600 30 Finkelstein family. 610 20 Wiener Library |xHistory. 650 0 Holocaust survivors |vBiography. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945 |xRefugees |zEngland |zLondon |vBiography. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945 |xRefugees |zNetherlands |vBiography. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945 |xRefugees |zPoland |vBiography. 610 20 Bergen-Belsen (Concentration camp) |vBiography. 650 0 Polish people |xRelocation |zRussia (Federation) |zSiberia. 600 37 Wiener family. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00217150 610 27 Bergen-Belsen (Concentration camp) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00723559 610 27 Wiener Library. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00511351 650 7 Holocaust survivors. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00958838 650 7 Refugees. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01092797 651 7 England |zLondon. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01204271 651 7 Netherlands. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01204034 651 7 Poland. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01206891 651 7 Russia (Federation) |zSiberia. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01243666 647 7 World War |d(1939-1945) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01180924 648 7 1939-1945 |2fast 655 7 Biographies. |2lcgft 655 7 Biographies. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 History. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411628 852 0 |bscstacks |hDS135.E6 |iF56 2023
