Burning Leaves

<p><em>Burning Leaves</em> takes us to the heart of the Nazis' murderous assault on European Jewry and the long shadow it has cast since.</p><p>Through conversations between descendants or relatives of the people caught up in these events Bernard Marin brings them vividly to life. Some like Albert G��ring are well-known; others like the boy longing for freedom on the St Louis are ordinary. Some events such as Kristallnacht are familiar; others such as the Transfer Agreement are not. Together they create a fresh and challenging account of a time of infamy.</p>
