A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

A memoir by a brother and sister in which they recount how their Jewish family fled Nazi Austria in 1939, joining other Jewish refugees in Shanghai, China, before escaping to the United States.

Présentation de l'éditeur

In September 1939, the family Wacs saved their lives by fleeing Vienna as Nazi Austria turned on the Jews. They left for Shanghai, to them a completely alien culture, a week before war broke out. Unique and poignant, this memoir addresses universal issues: persecution and the will to survive. Written by a brother and sister, their differing memories of the same events form a moving portrait of a family uprooted. The authors, who now live in the USA, will be personally promoting the book through a variety of media.
