We Were Europeans

From pre-Hitler Germany to Kristallnacht, a last minute escape from the Holocaust, and on to a life on three continents, this book catalogues the experiences of one Jewish family as the events of the twentieth century overturned its settled existence and scattered the family across the globe. Enhanced by excerpts from several historical diaries, and lavishly illustrated with photographs and maps, this personal history of triumph despite persecution is a microcosm of the life of the Jewish people.
