By Norman S. Poser, Sareve Press , New York, 2006
The story of a Jewish-Scandinavian family who, all but one, escaped the death camps. It is also a story of the Jews in Scandinavia from the medieval times through the upheavals of the 20th century, told in the context of the national movements, attitudes, and policies that are inseparable from both collective and individual history. The escape routes of the Solomon family from their Nazi-occupied homelands weave a mixed pattern of strategies, reactions, good and bad luck, and debts to the kindness of strangers from Denmark and Sweden.

Disenchantment: GEorge Steiner and the Meaning of Western Civilization After Auschwitz 
By Catherine D. Chatterly, Syracuse University Press, 2011
The son of central European Jews, George Steiner was born in France, fled from the Nazis to New York in 1940, and became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1944. Through his many books, voluminous literary criticism, and book review articles published in the New Yorker, the Times Literary Supplement, and the Guardian, Steiner has played a major role in introducing the works of prominent continental writers and thinkers to readers in North America and Great Britain.
Having escaped the Nazis as a child, Steiner vowed that his work as an intellectual would attempt to understand the tragedy of the Shoah. In Disenchantment, Chatterley focuses on Steiner’s neglected writings on the Holocaust and antisemitism and places this work at the center of her analysis of his criticism. This first intellectual biography of George Steiner provides an invaluable contribution to literary and cultural studies, confirming his critical and intellectual legacy.
