STEVEN PRESSMAN
50 Children:
One Ordinary American Couple’s Extraordinary
Rescue Mission into the Heart of Nazi Germany
Based on the acclaimed HBO documentary, 50 Children is the astonishing
true story of how one American couple transported fifty Jewish children
from Nazi-occupied Austria to America in 1939—the single largest group of
unaccompanied refugee children allowed into the United States.
In early 1939, America’s rigid immigration laws made it virtually impossible
for European Jews to seek safe haven in the United States. As deep-seated
anti-Semitism and isolationism gripped much of the country, neither President
Roosevelt nor Congress rallied to their aid.
Yet one brave Jewish couple from Philadelphia refused to silently stand by.
Risking their own safety, Gilbert Kraus, a successful lawyer, and his stylish
wife, Eleanor, traveled to Nazi-controlled Vienna and Berlin to save fifty Jewish
children. Steven Pressman brought the Kraus’s rescue mission to life in his
acclaimed HBO documentary, 50 Children. In this book, he expands upon the
story related in the hour-long film, offering additional historical detail and
context to offer a rich, full portrait of this ordinary couple and their
extraordinary actions.
Drawing from Eleanor Kraus’s unpublished memoir, rare historical documents,
and interviews with more than a dozen of the surviving children, and illustrated
with period photographs, archival materials, and memorabilia, 50 Children is a
remarkable tale of personal courage and triumphant heroism that offers a fresh,
unique insight into a critical period of history.
Lunch provided.

HBO DOCUMENTARY: 50 CHILDREN
The Rescue Mission of Mr. & Mrs. Kraus
NARRATED BY ALAN ALDA
In the spring of 1939, a Jewish lawyer and his
wife left their comfortable home and two
children in Philadelphia and embarked on
a bold and improbable plan to rescue fifty
children from Nazi-controlled Vienna. Despite
the oncoming horrors of the Holocaust, Gilbert
and Eleanor Kraus bravely traveled into the
heart of the Nazi empire in an effort to save
innocent lives. Their unlikely mission would turn
an ordinary American couple into extraordinary
heroes. Their incredible story has never been
told...until now.
“Heart-wrenching, thrilling, and above
all relevant” —The New York Times

From Scratch:
The Uncensored History
of the Food Network
Twenty years after the Food Network’s
debut, it is in 100 million homes, earns
over half a billion dollars a year in profit,
and features a galaxy of stars whose
faces and names are as familiar to us
as our own family’s. Based on extensive
inside access, documents and interviews
with hundreds of executives, stars, bit
players and employees, Allen Salkin’s
book is an exhilarating roller coaster ride
from chaos to conquest.
“Allen Salkin shows how the sausage
really gets made at the Food Network
in From Scratch, a behind-the-scenes
history liberally spiced with gossip and
unsavory tidbits.”

Kosher Revolution
“Kosher is a set of rules, not a cuisine, and,
as Geila Hocherman amply proves, you can
be kosher and cook Chinese, French, Italian,
Indian, New American—any cuisine in the
world. With Geila’s “tool box” and system,
and with so many exotic ingredients getting
kosher certification, there’s no excuse for
kosher cooks not to turn out interesting, even
sophisticated, and, of course, very delicious
meals every day and every holiday.”

PHYLLIS CHESLER
An American Bride in Kabul
An American Bride in Kabul is a psychological
adventure story. Eighteen years old, an Orthodox,
spirited, Jewish-American, Phyllis Chesler, from
Brooklyn embarked on a passionate love affair
with a glamorous foreign student. Upon arrival
in Afghanistan, authorities seized Chesler’s
passport. She found herself trapped as the
property of her husband’s polygamous family.
Despite her seclusion, her in-law’s campaign to
convert her, and her husband’s attempt to tie her
to the country through childbirth, she escaped.
Yet, these lovers have remained connected for a
half century.
Phyllis Chesler is a legendary feminist leader. She
has appeared on CNN, Fox News, NBC and NPR.
Her work has been featured in The Washington
Post, The Times of London, National Review, The
New York Times, Salon, and Jewish/ Israeli media.

Jacob’s Oath
Jacob and Sarah are lonely Holocaust survivors who meet in Heidelberg.
But Jacob is consumed with hatred and cannot rest until he has killed his
brother’s murderer, a concentration camp guard nicknamed the Rat. Jacob
and Sarah, the only Jews in Heidelberg, fall in love. As Jacob waits for the
Rat to come home, he is beset by doubt. If he fulfills his oath and kills
him, he will undoubtedly be caught, and Jacob’s and Sarah’s new life will
die too. Timeless dilemmas torture the young lovers and threaten to tear
them apart. What is more important, love or hate? The past or the future?
Revenge or mercy? Jacob’s Oath is both a painful love story and a riveting
thriller with a very tricky ending indeed.
Martin Fletcher is one of the most respected television news correspondents
in the world. He has won many awards, including five Emmys, a Columbia
University DuPont Award, several Overseas Press Club Awards, and the
National Jewish Book Award. He is currently based in Israel and New York,
