Holocaust Family Stories of Survival

The boy in the suitcase: holocaust family stories of survival is a uniquely different holocaust book. It reads like an intriguing novel, such as the title chapter which tells the story of an infant smuggled out of Germany in a suitcase and raised in the Dominican Republic. Each chapter tells a different story of families throughout the world who have been affected by the holocaust. This book also covers the trauma of second generation children of holocaust survivors and the bravery of Christian families who hid Jewish children in Quaregnon, Belgium. The boy in the suitcase includes inspirational stories from nations such as Russia, Poland, France, Germany, Holland, Hungary, and the Dominican Republic. Intelligence, courage, and the will to survive permeate each remarkable chapter
