WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT�.
"The Uprooted"
Voices of Those Who Escaped
before the "Final Solution"
"�a valuable piece of Holocaust History."
"Kirkus Reviews"
"�[A] deeply insightful and moving work."
William B. Helmreich, Ph.D.,
Professor of Sociology, City College, New York, Author,
"Against All Odds"
"Your psychological
studies of the escapee cohort are very interesting to us because they
complement our more historical and sociological approach to the
topic. It is refreshing indeed to hear from a clinical psychologist
who does not over-emphasize the psychopathologies created by the traumatic
upheavals of escapees' early years, but also acknowledges patterns of
strength and resilience. It will not surprise you that our
statistical analysis of the United States Census has found that the
escapee group on the whole has had extraordinarily productive and
successful careers in their new country." Professor Gerald Holton,
Harvard University, Project Second Wave,
funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation
"The book offers a masterly synthesis of historical and
sociological data, survivor testimony, personal recollections,
and sophisticated psychological insights."
Maria Rosenbloom, MSW, Associate Professor Emeritus of Social
Work, Hunter College, New York
"Those who escaped are also witnesses; their voices, too,
must be heard."
Elie Wiesel
"�A beautifully written book�starkly realistic
description of the various measures taken by individuals to
reach safety and wrenching tales of hopes too often thwarted and
fears too often realized offer the reader deeper insights into
the complex psychological adjustments necessitated by forced
adjustments to alien environments."
"Martyrdom and Resistance"

queuing for necessary exit papers at the police station. Waiting
times often lasted weeks, punctuated by beatings and arrests.
"A book of extraordinary value. Dr. Whiteman
has re-created what would otherwise be lost history. For the first
time, the story is told of the special vicissitudes of Jews who,
without having been incarcerated by the Nazis, had to flee them.
In effect, the study is part of an evolving body of Holocaust
literature stressing not pathology but resilience. We
experiencethe full power of what America meant to Jews who made
their way here, reminding us of what this country can and should
be. The
significance of the author's work extends to the far reaches of
human possibility."

Feldman in 1963 as compensation for the murder of her mother who
disappeared after being deported to Poland.
"A necessary book, with a sound scientific basis, grounded
in correspondence with Jewish refugees all over the world, and
with an impressive overall interpretation by Dr. Whiteman."
Michael Mitterauer, Ph.D.,
Professor Social History, University of Vienna, Author,
"History of Youth"
"The narrative helps us understand the complex physical,
financial, and emotional adjustments needed to cope with
survival." Together
"[A] book worth reading by anyone
interested in one of the darkest periods in human history and
the resilience of the survivors."
