Hitler, Stalin, Mum and Dad: A Family Memoir of Miraculous Survival
Daniel Finkelstein
Hitler, Stalin, Mum and Dad is a family memoir of miraculous survival. The book traces the extraordinary journeys of Daniel Finkelstein's parents as they navigated the horrors of the twentieth century—his mother's escape from Nazi-occupied Poland and his father's survival of Stalin's Soviet Union. Through their remarkable stories of resilience and against-all-odds escapes, Finkelstein explores how his family endured unimaginable circumstances and built a life together in safety. The memoir weaves together personal history with the larger historical forces that shaped their destinies, ultimately telling a story of hope and human survival in the face of unprecedented darkness.
