Daniel Finkelstein's grandfather Alfred Wiener was a German Jewish intellectual leader who tolled an early warning of the impending Holocaust and became an archivist of Nazi crimes. He relocated his family to safety in Amsterdam, where they became close with Anne Frank's family. But they were eventually separated, and Daniel's mother Mirjam was sent to Bergen-Belsen with her mother and sisters while Alfred worked feverishly to free them. Finkelstein's father, Ludwik, grew up in a prosperous Jewish family in Poland where his father was a patriotic hero of the Great War. But when Stalin took control, Finkelstein's grandfather was deported to Siberia, while Ludwik and his mother were sent to Kazahkstan, where they barely survived freezing winters and harrowing forced labor conditions. Love and Murder is a page-turning account of ingenuity, bravery and the almost unbelievable coincidences that brought Daniel's parents together. The story features secret archives, forgery and theft, and sweeps across Europe to show the expanse of the war. Moving, engrossing and inspiring, Love and Murder will profoundly touch all who read it"--|cProvided by publisher. 600 10 Finkelstein, Mirjam,|d1933-2017. 600 10 Finkelstein, Ludwik,|d1929-2011. 600 30 Wiener family. 600 30 Finkelstein family. 610 20 Wiener Library|xHistory. 610 20 Bergen-Belsen (Concentration camp)|vBiography. 650 0 Holocaust survivors|vBiography. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945|xRefugees|zEngland|zLondon |vBiography. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945|xRefugees|zNetherlands|vBiography. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945|xRefugees|zPoland|vBiography. 650 0 Polish people|xRelocation|zRussia (Federation)|zSiberia. 655 7 Biographies.|2lcgft 655 7 Large print books.|2lcgft 655 7 Large type books.|2local 775 08 |iReproduction of (manifestation):|aFinkelstein, Daniel, 1962-|tHitler, Stalin, mum and dad|dLondon : William Collins, 2023|z9780008483845
