Publisher Description:
In the 1930s, many tens of thousands of people fleeing Nazi-dominated Europe found refuge in Latin America. And in the short, terrifying months between the Anschluss and Kristallnacht in 1938 and the outbreak of World War II, Bolivia was one of the few remaining places in the entire world to accept Jewish refugees; more than twenty thousand Central Europeans were soon remaking their lives in this unknown land. With a subtle use of oral-history sources - interviews with survivors who left Bolivia and now live in Israel, the United States, Europe, and elsewhere - and unusual archival illustrations and photographs, he examines the effects of displacement on the experiences of people remaking their lives.
