Resumen del Editor
An epic and uplifting World War II family history of resistance that spans Europe, telling of two happy families uprooted by war, their incredible suffering under Hitler and Stalin, and the near-miraculous survival stories of the author's mother and father.
“Moving and important.”—Robert Harris, author of Act of Oblivion
In Two Roads Home beloved British journalist Daniel Finkelstein tells the extraordinary story of the years before his mother met his father—years of war and trials they barely survived.
Daniel Finkelstein's grandfather was a German Jewish intellectual leader who tolled an early warning of the impending Holocaust and became an archivist of Nazi crimes. He relocated his family to safety in Amsterdam, where they knew Anne Frank. But in those years safety was an illusion: Anne Frank famously went into hiding and Daniel's mother, Mirjam, also still a child, was sent to Bergen-Belsen with her mother and sisters.
Finkelstein's father, Ludwik, grew up in a prosperous Jewish family in Poland where his father, Dolu was a patriotic hero of the Great War. But when Stalin took control, Dolu, was deported to Siberia and Ludwik and his mother were sentenced to forced labor in Kazakhstan, starved and housed in a stable in freezing conditions.
Two Roads Home is a thrilling account of the narrow escapes, forged passports, ingenuity, bravery, and luck that allowed Mirjam and Ludwik to survive the war and find each other. Using their personal testimony, letters sent to Siberia, a diary written in Belsen, and years of historical research, Daniel Finkelstein tells what happened to two families, one the victim of the Nazis, the other of the Soviets. A tale of deliverance and triumph over evil, Two Roads Home will profoundly touch all who read it.

Reseñas de la Crítica
SUNDAY TIMES (UK) BESTSELLER
"Hair-raising...The tales he tells are so overflowing with cruelty and loss that Mr. Finkelstein’s prose needs only to be spare and plain for us to be scorched by his narrative, which includes not just Hitler’s depredations but Stalin’s too—a double measure of evil." —The Wall Street Journal
"Finkelstein writes about the dual distinct, horrific paths taken during [the 1930s and 1940s] by his German-born mother, Mirjam Weiner, and his Polish-born father, Ludwik Finkelstein....Two riveting stories." —Washington Independent Review of Books
"Against a backdrop of mounting repression and horror...Finkelstein details [his family's] sufferings with immersive precision." —The Forward

Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.

Historia
In 1528, a mission set out from Spain to colonize Florida. But the expedition went horribly wrong: Delayed by a hurricane, knocked off course by a colossal error of navigation, and ultimately doomed by a disastrous decision to separate the men from their ships, the mission quickly became a desperate journey of survival. Of the 300 men who had embarked on the journey, only four survived - three Spaniards and an African slave.

Historia
This is an easily digestible argument about what rights we have, what rights Republicans are trying to take away, and how to stop them. Mystal explains how to protect the rights of women and people of color instead of cowering to the absolutism of gun owners and bigots. He explains the legal way to stop everything from police brutality to political gerrymandering, just by changing a few judges and justices. He strips out all of the fancy jargon conservatives like to hide behind and lays bare the truth of their project to keep America forever tethered to its slaveholding past.

Hilarious, fascinating, and a roller coaster of dizzying, historical what-ifs, Napoleon's Hemorrhoids is a potpourri for serious historians and casual history buffs. In one of Phil Mason's many revelations, you'll learn that Communist jets were two minutes away from opening fire on American planes during the Cuban missile crisis, when they had to turn back as they were running out of fuel. You'll discover that before the Battle of Waterloo, Napoleon's painful hemorrhoids prevented him from mounting his horse to survey the battlefield.

Historia
In 1177 B.C., marauding groups known only as the "Sea Peoples" invaded Egypt. The pharaoh’s army and navy managed to defeat them, but the victory so weakened Egypt that it soon slid into decline, as did most of the surrounding civilizations. After centuries of brilliance, the civilized world of the Bronze Age came to an abrupt and cataclysmic end. Kingdoms fell like dominoes over the course of just a few decades. No more Minoans or Mycenaeans. No more Trojans, Hittites, or Babylonians.

Historia
In February 1959, a group of nine experienced hikers in the Russian Ural Mountains died mysteriously on an elevation known as Dead Mountain. Eerie aspects of the incident—unexplained violent injuries, signs that they cut open and fled the tent without proper clothing or shoes, a strange final photograph taken by one of the hikers, and elevated levels of radiation found on some of their clothes—have led to decades of speculation over what really happened.

Tragedy on a personal level
I could not listen without tears in my eyes. I hope this tragedy never happens again, although I see signs of similar events that may come. First: humans label one group all alike, Two: dehumanize the group, Three: genocide occurs. We have already started to forget about World War Two, beware!

A story that had to be told
This is a story that had to be told. It’s one of great tragedy and evil but also one of hope and overcoming. The fact that Mr. Finkelstein reads his own family’s history makes this audiobook, especially moving.

Harrowing, Heartbreaking, a Truly Amazing Story
Extraordinary is probably an overused superlative but it applies perfectly to this beautifully rendered true history. Written vividly and with captivating momentum. The confluence of high name ID historical figures and events in the story of this one family is almost too much to believe except for the unimpeachable first and second person sourcing. Tying together many known threads of WWII history with many lesser known and previously under appreciated people and pivots, this book is the freshest and most revealing history of the plight of WWII European Jewry I have ever read. Very highly recommended. I hope it will find a wide audience.

Amazing story of survival
Astonishing story of the author’s family who survived the Holocaust and Stalin’s gulag. Engaging narration by the author. Particularly poignant in light of Russia’s 21st century invasion of Ukraine.

Most engaging and important audiobook I ever listened to.
I cannot praise this book enough! I became personally attached to all the characters. I could not stop listening until i learned what happened to each one of them. I have never before listened to an audiobook without “being able to put it down.” The historical details were told so clearly that they held my interest throughout. I was amazed at how much more there was to know about what happened to the Jews and Poles, their daily struggles to try to escape or survive, the horrible atrocities that befell them. Thank you, Daniel Finklestein, for telling this story. It needs to be heard in a time that antisemitism is rising its ugly head again. I thought it was behind us, but it is frightening to see privileged college students stoop to it again.
