We are proud to be partnering with the Proms At St Jude's Litfest as their offical bookseller. Join us for a weekend of fantastic author talks and discussions.
Finkelstein, former executive editor of The Times, writes about his family’s survival against the forces of Hitler and Stalin. His maternal grandfather, widely acknowledged to have been the first person to recognise the danger Hitler posed, began to catalogue Nazi crimes. Before relocating his family to London, they were deported to Bergen-Belsen. Meanwhile, after Hitler and Stalin carved up Poland in 1939, Daniel’s father’s family was rounded up by the communists and sent to a Siberian gulag. This is a story of history’s impact on Finkelstein’s family and how they survived through ingenuity, bravery, and coincidences.
Daniel Finkelstein will be in conversation with Claire Berliner.
