Child of the Journey

by Janet Berliner

First published 1996

The Nazi regime tightens its grip on Germany, and Jewish visionary Solomon Freund faces an impossible choice. Miriam, the woman he loves, remains beyond his reach. His determination to find her drives him from the temporary safety of Holland back into the heart of danger. Berlin has become a trap for Jews, but Solomon enters the city anyway. His search leads him into the brutal reality of Sachenhausen concentration camp, where survival itself becomes uncertain. Through each ordeal, one goal sustains him: reuniting with Miriam. His journey will ultimately carry him across continents to the distant shores of Madagascar. This continuation of Solomon's story explores how love persists even when the world collapses into darkness.
