    About this ebook

    How many Jewish women do you know who moved back to post-war Germany? In this holocaust survivor book, you'll meet 16. Each recounts her life story of fleeing war, living as a refugee, and their German repatriation. Some were young and fled with family, some were older and escaped on their own. Some had difficulty adapting to their new homes, others grew to feel at home. Ruth Galinski fled to the mountains of Poland, lived in hiding and returned to Berlin. Steffi Wittenberg first fled to Uruguay and ended up in Houston during the McCarthy Hearings. Ruth Thorsch fled to Palestine but because there was so much fighting there, too, she yearned to return to Germany. Eva Fröhlich, who left for Uruguay and spent most of her life in Brazil, moved back very reluctantly. Perhaps not surprisingly, family underscores the reason each went back. This is a holocaust survivor book that reads like a diary but informs like a survival guide as it also explores Jewish history and identity from personal perspectives. Documented by Andrea von Treuenfeld, a German journalist specializing in biographies, Going Back will appeal to readers of historical nonfiction.
