Risen from the Ashes: A Story of Jewish Displaced Persons in the Aftermath of World War Ii, Being a Sequel to Survivors

by Jacob Biber

When Jacob Biber and his wife Eva escaped from the Ukraine, after a series of harrowing adventures that saw most of his family killed by the Nazis, an uncertain future awaited the refugee Jews. In the ruins of postwar Germany, Biber and his family and the other survivors were herded into temporary camps erected by the Allied soldiers, unable to return to their destroyed homes in Russia and other parts of Europe. Many would go to Israel, others would come to the United States, still others would seek South American homes. This is the moving story of what happened to the remnants of the great Jewish civilization in Europe, and how each individual began rebuilding his or her life anew.
