This impressive book tells the moving story of Max Schohl, a German Jew who, during the Second World War, despite his wealth, education, and connections, could not find a country to immigrate to with his family. He made futile attempts to gain access to the United States, Great Britain, Chile, and Brazil. Max eventually died in Auschwitz, while his wife and daughters were forced into heavy labor in Wiesbaden.
The author, David Clay Large, gives a face to the tragedy caused by bureaucratic unwillingness and passivity of Western countries to save tens of thousands of European Jews. The youngest daughter of the Schohl family, now a 74-year-old widow from Charleston, South Carolina, opened her family archive with letters and documents that complete the story.
