Echoes of Exile - A Family's Odyssey through the Holocaust and Cold War

In "Echoes of Exile," Daniela Spenser weaves together a history of Europe's calamitous 20th century conflicts--the Holocaust, Communism, the Cold War--by tracing those events in the lives of her parents and grandparents of Czech, Polish, and German descent. Enhancing and humanizing extensive archival research with interviews and hundreds of personal letters, Echoes of Exile brings complex political history to vivid life in the story of one family's struggle to survive.
