Reviews
"In this unique contribution to Holocaust studies, Fransecky, a researcher for the Federal Archives in Berlin, integrates short but intense synopses of Jewish history into accounts of Nazi deportation trains. Supported by primary sources, interviews, solid secondary sources, and often overlooked archival sources, including newly available material from the International Tracing Service (now the Arolsen Archives), the text uncovers several trends regarding Jews who sought refuge from Nazi persecution in France, Belgium, and the Netherlands....Recommended." * Choice "Fransecky's accounts of the individual escapes offer an interesting and important addition to Holocaust literature." * Holocaust and Genocide Studies, "In this unique contribution to Holocaust studies, Fransecky, a researcher for the Federal Archives in Berlin, integrates short but intense synopses of Jewish history into accounts of Nazi deportation trains.

The individual histories are useful in teaching about the crucial moments that could define life or death, and inspire reflection about the possibilities for everyone to try to recognize forms of resistance against injustice today." * Central European History "Fransecky's accounts of the individual escapes offer an interesting and important addition to Holocaust literature." * Holocaust and Genocide Studies

Synopsis
Drawing upon extensive interviews and a wealth of new historical evidence about the hundreds of Jewish deportees who escaped from moving trains bound for the extermination camps, this work gives a fascinating collective account of this hitherto neglected form of resistance to Nazi persecution., Of the countless stories of resistance, ingenuity, and personal risk to emerge in the years following the Holocaust, among the most remarkable, yet largely overlooked, are those of the hundreds of Jewish deportees who escaped from moving trains bound for the extermination camps. In France, Belgium, and the Netherlands alone over 750 men, women and children undertook such dramatic escape attempts, despite the extraordinary uncertainty and physical danger they often faced. Drawing upon extensive interviews and a wealth of new historical evidence, Escapees gives a fascinating collective account of this hitherto neglected form of resistance to Nazi persecution., Hundreds of Jewish men, women and children escaped from deportation trains bound for extermination camps by making a dangerous leap from the moving train. Drawing from extensive interviews and new sources, Tanja Fransecky sheds light on a hitherto neglected chapter of Jewish resistance to the National Socialist extermination policy.
