"This book chronicles the long hunt for Nazi war criminals and the swift justice they are dealt by Jewish avengers.…
Beginning with accounts of Jewish vengeance, the book then describes the complicated escape plans of top Nazi leaders and their underground aid network, and ends in Mato Grosso, the jungle located on the Brazilian and Argentine borders that, when the book was written, was a sort of renegade Nazi badland." -- Provided by NLS.

After the First World War, tens of thousands of Jews immigrated to Palestine. They went there not to found a…
Zionist state but primarily to seek refuge from the violence and persecution of the Russian Civil War and its aftermath. Fleeing to the United States was not an option due to heavily restrictive immigration laws enacted there in the early 1920s.In Land of Refuge , the experiences of this generation of Jewish immigrants come vividly to life through a wealth of previously unstudied archival sources. Historian Gur Alroey skillfully weaves together the riveting and remarkable stories of survivors of pogroms and riots in Ukraine and Uramia, including widows, orphans, and survivors of rape and other unimaginable violence; migrants who risked harrowing journeys by boat, only to endure illness on the way, be detained or sent back, or have their luggage broken into or stolen; survivors of the famine in Russia during the Lenin and Stalin regimes; and marginalized Jews such as the mentally ill, thieves, prostitutes, and those with falsified entry visas. The stories of the people at the core of Land of Refuge form an important but little appreciated part of the history of the Jewish settlement in the Land of Israel.

København 1825 i den såkalte danske gylne tid. Carl Otto er lege, og leder av sykehuset ved det danske statsfengselet…
i Købnhavn. Han er vitenskapsmann, mmen mener at en kan finne ut omtrent alt om et menneskes evner og karakter ved måling av kraniet. Han er - med andre ord - landets ledende talsmann for såkalt vitenskapelig frenologi. Vitenskapelig tar han selvfølgelig feil, og dette blir han motvillig klar over når han får en ny pasient i sykehuset: En fattig, fordrukken, løgnaktig og tyvaktig bondekone som har blitt benådet fra dødsdom. Det spesielle møtet mellom to personer fra diamtralt motsatte samfunnsforhold truer med å knuse Carl Ottos anseelse og sosiale posisjon og fører ham inn i en dyp samvittighetskonflikt. Romanen består av Carl Ottos nedtegnelser, alternerende med historier fra den fattige, kriminelle kvinnens liv fra barndom til hennes død i fengselet. Hele den historiske beretningen innrammes av et moderne narrativ som forklarer hvordan Ottos papirer er blitt oppdaget. Både Carl Otto og hans motstykke Anne Andersdatter er virkelige, historiske personer, og nesten alt i romanen erbasert på research og faktiske hendelser.
