Ebook: Promised New Zealand: fleeing Nazi persecution

Promised New Zealand is the true tale of Jewish citizens who fled the Nazi terror in Europe for a safe haven on the opposite side of the world in New Zealand. This narrative interweaves the lives of 24 Jewish exiles--including Viennese philosopher Karl Popper, German author Karl Wolfskehl, and the youthful Peter Munzis--all saved by travelling across the oceans to New Zealand. The journey likewise brings others to this land from very diverse places, even from Dr Mengele's experiment rooms at Auschwitz. Their stories could scarcely be more varied, and yet they have one common link: the desire to maintain as much distance from Germany as possible.
