Hiding from the Nazis
As Adolf Hitler's control over Germany became absolute, those Jews who could not run from the Nazis were forced into hiding. Readers will experience the harrowing first-hand narratives of those who concealed either themselves, in bunkers or attics or even the forest, or by their Judaism, relying on Aryan looks to hide themselves in plain sight. Some people tried to plan in advance, constructing secret rooms in which they hid, silently, relying on the kindness of trusted friends. Others hid wherever possible, building bunkers into the dirt floor of barns, in the ghettos in order to avoid being shot or deported to death camps, and even in the rubble of bombed out cities as the war progressed.

The bibliography also covers works dealing with philo-Semitism or Jewish reactions to anti-Semitism and Jewish self-hate. An informative abstract in English is provided for each entry, and Hebrew titles are provided with English translations.
Landing in New York
With a need to belong and a desire to lead different lives, Felicia Rosshandler is torn between adventure and meaning. These memoir stories chronicle the masks she used to navigate the chaos and glamor of mid-century New York. She explores Village bohemia and the budding sexual freedoms of her time, she drops out of college and runs off to existential Paris with an artist, her languages open doors to plum jobs in journalism, including Life magazine. She finds her way into the city's art and literary circles but her primary focus is never on career as much as it is on a search for permanence through tumultuous love affairs. Marriage finally offers the security of family but comes at a price. It is perhaps the curse of the refugee to never feel totally whole, to always yearn for something that has been lost.
