Description

Experience a powerful true story of survival and determination in When the World Closed Its Doors. This memoir follows a young couple caught in the terrifying reality of Nazi-occupied Europe at the start of World War II. While facing the direct threat of the Nazi regime, they also had to navigate the "paper wall" - a complex bureaucratic maze created by the US and other nations that blocked Jewish refugees from emigrating. This book provides a firsthand account of the ingenuity required to escape when doors were being shut globally. It is a deeply personal look at the struggles faced by European Jews who were trapped between two forces: the advancing Nazi armies and the restrictive immigration policies of the era. Michael R. Marrus, Professor of Holocaust Studies at the University of Toronto, notes that this account is full of the determination needed to survive such extreme circumstances. This historical biography offers a window into the life-and-death decisions made by those seeking refuge during one of history's darkest periods.
