Escape from the edge / by Schnitzer, Morris,author.; Azrieli Foundation,publisher.;
"Narrow escapes and bold decisions define the life of young Morris Schnitzer during World War II. Fleeing from Nazi Germany after the violence of Kristallnacht, with his father's warning to never set foot in a concentration camp echoing in his mind, Morris resolves to fight--and survive. As he assumes three different false identities and crosses countless borders in search of safety, Morris poses as a farmhand in the Netherlands, is arrested and turned away from safety in Switzerland, is jailed in France, joins the resistance in Belgium, and, ultimately, enlists in the American army, vowing to take revenge for all that he has lost. (Holocaust survivor memoir by a prominent Canadian who was a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. He grew up in Germany and witnessed Kristallnacht, and escaped from Germany to the Netherlands on a Kindertransport.)"--Provided by publisher.

Once we were home / by Rosner, Jennifer,author.;
Includes bibliographical references."From Jennifer Rosner comes a novel based on the true stories of children stolen in the wake of World War II. Ana will never forget her mother's face when she and her baby brother, Oskar, were sent out of their Polish ghetto and into the arms of a Christian friend. For Oskar, though, their new family is the only one he remembers. When a woman from a Jewish reclamation organization seizes them, believing she has their best interest at heart, Ana sees an opportunity to reconnect with her roots, while Oskar sees only the loss of the home he loves. Roger grows up in a monastery in France, inventing stories and trading riddles with his best friend in a life of quiet concealment. When a relative seeks to retrieve him, the Church steals him across the Pyrenees before relinquishing him to family in Jerusalem. Renata, a post-graduate student in archaeology, has spent her life unearthing secrets from the past--except for her own. After her mother's death, Renata's grief is entwined with all the questions her mother left unanswered, including why they fled Germany so quickly when Renata was a little girl. Two decades later, they are each building lives for themselves, trying to move on from the trauma and loss that haunts them. But as their stories converge in Israel, in unexpected ways, they must each ask where and to whom they truly belong."--
