Rose's Odyssey
WAR! Slavery, starvation, disease. During the Holocaust, an epic journey to freedom.
"War separated the newlywed Rose from her husband during the opening days of World War II. Rose, a sister, Ghenia and a six-year-old nephew, Zvi escape their occupied city to find him. This became an 18,000 km epic 6-year journey of enslavement, starvation, homelessness, disease, hope and ultimately freedom. Yet, for 40 years Rose never spoke to anyone about her experiences. Finally, at a family Passover reunion at Zvi’s home in Rome, Rose started to tell her story, which became this book. Her words, along with the memories of Zvi, bring the story to life. I love this book: it is compelling, enlightening and at times, heartbreaking."
