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. Love and Murder 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. 600 10 $a Finkelstein, Mirjam, $d 1933-2017. 600 10 $a Finkelstein, Ludwik, $d 1929-2011. 600 30 $a Wiener family. 600 30 $a Finkelstein family. 610 20 $a Wiener Library $x History. 650 0 $a Large type books. 650 0 $a Holocaust survivors $v Biography. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Refugees $z London $z London $v Biography. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Refugees $z Netherlands $v Biography. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Refugees $z Poland $v Biography. 610 20 $a Bergen-Belsen (Concentration camp) $v Biography. 650 0 $a Polish people $x Relocation $z Siberia. $z Siberia. 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 775 08 $i Reproduction of (manifestation): 775 08 $a Finkelstein, Daniel, 1962- $t Hitler, Stalin, mum and dad $d London : William Collins, 2023 $z 9780008483845 941 $a 7 945 $a lpt 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20240224011020.0 952 $l KQPC446 $d 20240224010453.0 952 $l UJPE911 $d 20240210011053.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20240125011852.0 952 $l FYPI314 $d 20240102010526.0 952 $l YTPG232 $d 20231202011817.0 952 $l CMPE792 $d 20231121011532.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C656B358883B11EEBC107B3452ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
