520 "In 1943, 22-year-old Latvian Mischka Danos chanced on a
terrible sight - a pit filled with the bodies of Jews
killed by the occupying Germans. A few months later,
escaping conscription into the Waffen-SS in Riga, Mischka
entered Hitler's Reich itself on a student exchange to
Germany. There, as the war drew to an end, he narrowly
escaped death in the Allied fire-bombing of Dresden. As he
made his escape from Hitler's Reich he fell ill and was
incarcerated in hospital before finally reuniting with his
resourceful mother Olga, who had made her own way out of
Riga, saving some Jews along the way. The diaries,
correspondence and later recollections of mother and son
provide a vivid recreation of life in occupied Germany,
where anxiety, fear and loss were tempered by friendship,
and where the ineptitude of international and occupation
bureaucracies added its own touch of black humour.
Sponsored as immigrants by one of the Jews Olga had saved,
they eventually reached New York in the early 1950s. As
refugee experiences go, they were among the lucky ones--
but even luck leaves scars. The author, who met and
married Mischka forty years after these events, turns her
skills as a historian and wry eye as a memoirist to
telling this remarkable story."--|cProvided by publisher
