Mina & Jacob

This book follows the journey of Mina and Jacob, Holocaust survivors of, between them, nine camps. Their experiences in these camps are placed against the apparatus of terror and human control that became a deadly marker of the 20th-century's totalitarian regimes. We share in their struggle to rebuild their lives in post-war Communist Poland and their migration to freedom in Australia in the early 1960s. Their daughters, Adele and Freda, have extensively researched their parents' lives and have reflected on their legacy and impact on the next generation.
