While much information exists on the dramatic fate of concentration camp victims, little is available about the Jewish men, women, and children who managed to escape before Hitler implemented mass executions and the death camps. The Uprooted is an extraordinary work featuring the stories of 190 escapees, lived through their own eyes and compellingly recollected in their own words. The author, a clinical psychologist and a refugee herself, depicts the experiences of these escapees' the persecution by citizens and officials; the abrupt confiscation of personal possessions; the raids and arrests; the quest to save the children; the dangers and fortuities in escape and resettlement; and the lasting emotional consequences of these experiences.
