The formidable Noa Tishby holding Separated Together by the equally formidable Kenneth P Price, PhD.

I am sure Noa will love the story of Ken's parents in law!

Before World War II, Abe and Sonia Huberman were two soulmates happily married and in love, living a peaceful life with their family in Warsaw, Poland. But while Abe was away, on a short business trip to America, World War II broke out and the N**is invaded. Abe was stranded far from home, while Sonia was left alone with their two young children to face the N**is. This is the story of her bravery, of Sonia’s survival of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising and N**i death camps, including the notorious Auschwitz.

What was supposed to be a separation of seven weeks turned into one of seven years. This is the story of their love, of soulmates reunited against all odds. Learn about history through the lens of this inspirational account that serves as a powerful reminder of the resilience of the human spirit.

Hiding in Holland by Shula Reinharz reviewed by Lucinda E Clarke for Readers’ Favorite:

"There have been many books about the Holocaust, but Hiding in Holland by Shulamit Reinharz is different from most. While in the basement of her father’s home, the author discovered a collection of notebooks. They documented his life from growing up in the Jewish community in Germany to his subsequent flight to Holland, which at the time was considered safe. He planned to learn to farm with the idea of moving to Palestine and working on a kibbutz. But the N**is moved into Holland and the round-up of Jews continued and intensified. The aim was to make most of Europe Jew-free. Since it was impossible to leave Holland, and few countries would accept Jews, the only option was to hide. For almost five years, Max Rothschild found refuge in the homes of ordinary, very brave Dutch citizens who faced ex*****on if their guests were discovered. Max was forced to move from one safe hiding place to another, and, as a young man of twenty, he often took horrific chances. He chronicles his love for his girlfriend Ilse, the months they were forced to spend apart, and later hiding together until the end of the war. Even after the Allies liberated Holland, there were problems to face, mountains of red tape, visas to obtain, and even permission to marry were fraught with difficulties. There was also mental and physical damage to both Max and Ilse after their long months of confinement. Just as they took one step forward, another obstacle stood in their way.

With Hiding in Holland by Shulamit Reinharz, I was expecting a story much like that of Anne Frank, but this one is very different. Max Rothschild was a young man with hopes and dreams for the future. The chances he took to avoid the N**is' Final Solution took my breath away. The narrative from his diaries and letters to his parents in America is fully documented and explained by his daughter and illustrates the intense research she undertook over many years. This brings the book to life and makes for a fascinating read. There are parts where I wanted to shake Max over some of his choices and decisions, and other scenes where I only had immense admiration for him. How he kept true to his faith and some of the facts revealed in the book are astonishing, but I don’t want to give any spoilers here. An interesting book that shines a light on a different angle to the majority of stories about this time in history and the persecution of the Jews under the N**i regime."
