  Julie Brill, *Hidden in Plain Sight: A Family Memoir and the Untold Story of the Holocaust in Serbia*. Amsterdam: Amsterdam Publishers, 2025

  Jul 15, 202652 min

  Send us Fan Mail This family's account of the Holocaust in Serbia unveils a significant, previously unrecognized aspect of Holocaust history, alongside a daughter's unwavering quest to reveal the story that began a generation before her birth. From a young age, Julie Brill struggled to understand how her father survived as a young Jewish boy in Belgrade, where the Nazis annihilated 90 percent of the Jewish population without resorting to gas chambers or cattle cars. Through diligent research, a stroke of luck, and three meaningful trips to Serbia, she reconstructs her family's hidden history, uncovers concealed truths, and restores to her father a piece of what the Nazis took from him: his own family legacy.

  Kate Garrett, Andrew McNamara and Seumas Spark, eds., *Voices of the Dumera: Ernst Kitzinger, Exile and Essays on Internment*. London: Berghahn Books, 2026.

  Jul 9, 20261h 16m

  Send us Fan Mail Ernst Kitzinger, a notable art historian of the twentieth century, was also a refugee who found himself detained in Hay, New South Wales during World War II. He sought asylum in Britain in 1935 as a German Jew, but in 1940, he became one of 2,500 men classified as 'enemy aliens' and was deported to Australia on the HMT Dunera. Kitzinger inspired his fellow internees to articulate their distinct experiences. Through impactful and often profoundly emotional prose and poetry, they reflected on their journeys and the difficulties faced by refugees. Their previously unpublished works continue to resonate strongly in contemporary times.

  Laura Hobson Faure, *Who Will Rescue Us? The Story of the Jewish Children Who Fled to France and America During the Holocaust*. New Haven: Yale University Press, 2025.

  Jul 9, 20261h 28m

  Send us Fan Mail As the Second World War loomed, it is estimated that 1.6 million Jewish children resided in Nazi-occupied Europe. While 10,000 of these children managed to escape to Britain through the Kindertransport, only around 500 found sanctuary in France. There, they endeavored to reconstruct their lives—but their refuge would soon become a trap. For the first time, this book unveils the experiences of these children, along with the Jewish and non-Jewish organizations that provided assistance. Utilizing survivor testimonies, children's diaries, letters, drawings, songs, and poems, this monograph reconstructs their complex journeys, including how some ultimately reached safety in America. Hobson Faure offers a poignant depiction of these children and their escapes, emphasizing their agency in the fight against Nazism—and interweaving the network of numerous supporters who aided them throughout their ordeal.
