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 600 10 Finkelstein, Mirjam,|d1933-2017 600 10 Finkelstein, Ludwik,|d1929-2011 600 30 Wiener family 600 30 Finkelstein family 600 37 Wiener family|2fast 610 20 Wiener Library|xHistory 610 20 Bergen-Belsen (Concentration camp)|vBiography 610 27 Bergen-Belsen (Concentration camp)|2fast 610 27 Wiener Library|2fast 648 7 1939-1945 (andra världskriget)|2sao 648 7 1939-1945|2fast 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 650 0 Polish people|xRelocation|zRussia (Federation)|zSiberia 650 7 Förintelsen|2sao 650 7 Andra världskriget 1939-1945|2sao 650 7 Flyktingar|2sao 650 7 BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Personal Memoirs.|2bisacsh 650 7 HISTORY / Modern / 20th Century / Holocaust.|2bisacsh 650 7 BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Cultural, Ethnic & Regional. |2bisacsh 650 7 Holocaust survivors|2fast 650 7 Refugees|2fast 651 7 Netherlands|2fast 651 7 Poland|2fast 651 7 England|zLondon|2fast 651 7 Russia (Federation)|zSiberia|2fast 655 7 Biographies|2fast 655 7 History|2fast
