The remarkable story of how one family managed to escape 1930s Nazi Germany, on the brink of the Holocaust, and found themselves living in British Raj-era India. Spanning three countries — Germany, India, and finally, America — Herbert Friedmann’s story is about the unexpected twists and turns our lives can take, and what it means to be ‘home’.
