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.

The nine : the true story of a band of women who survived the worst of Nazi Germany / by Strauss, Gwen,author.;
Includes bibliographical references."The Nine follows the true story of the author's great aunt Helene Podliasky, who led a band of nine female resistance fighters as they escaped a German forced labor camp and made a ten-day journey across the front lines of WWII from Germany back to Paris. The nine women were all under thirty when they joined the resistance. They smuggled arms through Europe, harbored parachuting agents, coordinated communications between regional sectors, trekked escape routes to Spain and hid Jewish children in scattered apartments. They were arrested by French police, interrogated and tortured by the Gestapo. They were subjected to a series of French prisons and deported to Germany. The group formed along the way, meeting at different points, in prison, in transit, and at Ravensbrück. By the time they were enslaved at the labor camp in Leipzig, they were a close-knit group of friends. During the final days of the war, forced onto a death march, the nine chose their moment and made a daring escape. Drawing on incredible research, this powerful, heart-stopping narrative is a moving tribute to the power of humanity and friendship in the darkest of times"--

Two roads home [text (large print)] : Hitler, Stalin and the miraculous survival of my family / by Finkelstein, Daniel,1962-author.; container of (work):Finkelstein, Daniel,1962-Hitler, Stalin, Mum and Dad.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."An epic and beautifully written World War II family history that spans Europe, telling of two happy families uprooted by war, their incredible suffering in Hitler's and Stalin's camps, and the near-miraculous survival and rescue of the author's parents who met after the war. 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, Love and Murder will profoundly touch all who read it"--
