"Spenser’s erudition as a writer and scholar shines through. . . . [Echoes of Exile] is a fascinating and highly readable account of the author’s family history during a tumultuous period in world history. It is a story worth telling." —S. Jonathan Wiesen, coauthor of Nazi Germany: Society, Culture, and Politics“Weaving her Jewish family’s odyssey through the brutal prism of 20th century Eastern Europe and two enforced Western exiles, Daniela Spenser has produced a compassionate, yet admirably detached and scholarly book, which serves as a timely reminder of the endurance of the human spirit and faith in progressive politics.” —Kevin McDermott, Professor Emeritus, Department of History, Sheffield Hallam University. “A well-organized book, well written, and highly readable. The history and research done on the historical evidence is excellent and sits well alongside the family’s story.” —David A. Messenger, author of War and Public Memory: Case Studies in Twentieth-Century Europe
