It is November 10, 1938. The Zweigs, a prosperous Jewish family, are sitting down to dinner in their Breslau, Germany home. The family is about to hear some ominous news: for the past two days, hordes of Nazis have been rampaging through the streets, beating Jews at random, removing them forcibly from their shops, and smashing their businesses, in an event that would come to be known as “Kristallnacht.” So begins Red Snow, the true story of the Zweig family’s abrupt removal from a life of security and comfort to one of uncertainty and fear.
Red Snow is a son’s exploration of the experiences of his parents during the Holocaust and World War II. In his endeavor to understand and imagine their lives, through research, he discovers the brutality and horrors they survived and the miraculous circumstances that brought them together.
Copies of the book will be available for sale and signing.
