Our Only Hope - Eddie's Holocaust Story and the Weisz Family Correspondence

Informationen zum Autor By Keith H. Pickus - Edited by Zev Garber Klappentext Our Only Hope is based on correspondence between Eddie Weisz, a German Jew who emigrated to the U.S. in 1938, and his family (father, mother, and brother) who remained behind, first in Berlin and then Prague. Like many German Jewish families, Eddie's parents sent their eldest child to America hoping that he could pave the way for the rest of the family to follow. The story is a deeply personal account of how the Nazi phenomenon affected a single family.
