One summer's night in 1946, over 1,000 European Jews waited silently on an Italian beach to board a secret ship. They had survived Auschwitz, hidden and fought in forests and endured death marches-now they were taking on the Royal Navy, running the British blockade of Palestine. From Eastern Europe to Israel via Germany and Italy, Rosie Whitehouse follows in the footsteps of those secret passengers, uncovering their extraordinary stories-some told for the first time. Who were those people on the beach? Where and what had they come from, and how had they survived? Why, after being liberated, did so many Jews still feel unsafe in Europe? How do we-and don't we-remember the Holocaust today? This remarkable, important book digs deep and travels far in search of answers.

""Nous devions tous mourir, sauf lui. Il avait quatorze ans, il était surdoué et il détenait un secret. Moi, on me croyait attardé mental. Mais ce matin-là, David a décidé que je vivrais à sa place. Si j'ai pu donner le change, passer pour un génie précoce et devenir le bras droit d'Einstein, c'est grâce à Ilsa Schaffner. Elle m'a tout appris : l'intelligence, l'insolence, la passion. Cette héroïne de l'ombre, c'est un monstre à vos yeux. Je viens enfin de retrouver sa trace, et il me reste quelques heures pour tenter de la réhabiliter.""--P. [4] of cover.

The story of one 16-year-old girl's attempt to make sense of death, betrayal, and life itself, this moving novel is one survivor's passionate account of a narrow escape from hell on earth. Uschi, the precocious, confused heroine, struggles against fear, guilt, and an often devastating sense of her own uniqueness to come to terms with sexuality, spirituality, war, brutality, familial responsibility, friendship, and trust in a world too devastated to accommodate childhood. With the help of an unlikely cast of characters--a camp commandant, a movie producer, a bombshell, a Russian countess, and an imaginary prince--she finds the strength to make the bravest decision of all: to live.

In this powerful novel by one of Israel's most prominent writers, Momik, the only child of Holocaust survivors, grows up in the shadow of his parents' history. Determined to exorcise the Nazi "beast" from their shattered lives and prepare for a second holocaust he knows is coming, Momik increasingly shields himself from all feeling and attachment. But through the stories his great-uncle tells him -- the same stories he told the commandant of a Nazi concentration camp -- Momik, too, becomes "infected with humanity." Grossman's masterly fusing of vision, thought, and emotion make See Under: Love a luminously imaginative and profoundly affecting work.
