| Summary: | Marion Kaplan begins her new book, Hitler’s Jewish Refugees, with the reminder that stories of refugees hundreds or thousands of miles from Nazi-dominated territory, remain Holocaust stories. As she demonstrated in her earlier work on the Dominican Republic, “Drawing attention to the periphery does not detract from the genocide, but in fact highlights the range and reach of the Holocaust and its impact even on those who got away” (p. 3). For Kaplan, that range was short and the reach long, and until November 1942 and the Allied invasion of North Africa, Jewish refugees in Portugal constantly feared a Nazi occupation that would prove their escape not far enough, still on the wrong side of the ocean. |
