The Road From Breslau by Andrew Peiser

The Road From Breslau by Andrew Peiser is an evocative and important biography about the author’s mother, Marianne, who witnessed the rise of Nazi Germany, the rise of democracy in India, and the ascendence of post-war America, chronicling her resilience and fortitude through some of history’s darkest moments. The book also takes a close look at their family’s ancestors, giving an intimate look at history through the portrait of one family, as Peiser brings to life his family tree with a wealth of pictures, newspaper clippings, archival evidence, and personal anecdotes. Marianne and her family’s epic story is one that deserves to be told, and is told here beautifully.
