The emotional journeys of two German Jewish refugees are reconstructed from a collection of family papers, provided by author Esther Saraga's late parents as well as extensive research from Esther herself.
Berlin to London displays how it felt in the mid-20th century to be a refugee and expresses eloquently the distress and losses in exile, separation and internment. It sheds light on life in Nazi Germany, the difficulties of getting out and into the UK, and on British attitudes and policies towards refugees.
This engaging, accessible book has gathered critical acclaim from peers and is now being released as an audiobook for the first time, narrated by Esther herself. The material has been beautifully written, with enormous honesty and power, appealing to the general reader as well as to students and academics. It is available in an abridged CDx3 format.
"Esther Saraga tells a touching and disturbing story of her parents' emigration from Germany and their lives in Britain during and after the war. Part autobiographical, part history, this book recreates a forgotten world, full of tensions, harsh realities, but, in the end, a tale of survival and a future." Rabbi The Baroness Neuberger DBE.
