New York Jewish Book Festival - "Two Roads Home" with Daniel Finkelstein and Jonathan Goldberg

An epic and uplifting World War II family history of resistance that spans Europe, in Two Roads Home: Hitler, Stalin, and the Miraculous Survival of My Family, beloved British journalist Daniel Finkelstein tells the extraordinary story of the years before his mother and father met —years of war and trials they barely survived. 

Two Roads Home is a page-turning account of the narrow escapes, forged passports, ingenuity, bravery, and luck that allowed Mirjam and Ludwik to survive the war and find each other. Using their personal testimony, letters sent to Siberia, a diary written in Belsen, and years of historical research, Finkelstein tells what happened to two families, one the victim of the Nazis, the other of the Soviets. A tale of deliverance and triumph over evil, Two Roads Home will profoundly touch all who encounter it.  

Daniel Finkelstein will be joined in conversation by Jonathan Goldberg, a leading trial advocate and defender in the United Kingdom. Two Roads Home will be available for purchase at shop.mjhnyc.org.
