About this episode
A Thousand Kisses: A Family’s Escape From the Nazis to a New Life by John W. Weiser
https://www.amazon.com/Thousand-Kisses-Familys-Escape-Nazis/dp/1978318073
Intimate and harrowing, this memoir of love, escape and redemption is a rich account of the Weiser family’s life and flight from Nazi Vienna to Hungary to Brazil and to the U.S. It will keep the reader glued to a narrative that skillfully recreates the palpable tension of multiple escapes. A Thousand Kisses is at once instructive about a family’s courage and determination to stay together and about the dangers of remaining silent while a government tightens immigration laws and promotes racial scapegoating.
