Summary

"A tiny number of Jews had the chance to flee the Netherlands during Nazi occupation. A unique unpublished family memoir of an extraordinary journey to freedom. Lisbon, May 15, 1941. At the end of a tense 1,400-mile journey across Europe, Jewish husband and wife Albert and Ella Andriesse-van den Bergh embark on a ship to New York. They have just fled the Netherlands with their children. During the Atlantic crossing they record their stories. In Family On The Run the couple's memoirs are shared for the first time with a wider audience. Their accounts provide an authentic glimpse into the life of a few very fortunate Jews who succeeded in escaping from the Netherlands in the first years of the Second World War" -- back cover.
