The multiple award-winning account of Holocaust survival and present-day murder. âEvocative, and inspiring . . . So much more than a true crime.ââSteve Jackson, New York Times bestselling author After surviving the horrors of the Holocaustâin ghettos, on death marches, and in concentration campsâa young couple seeks refuge in Canada. They settle into a new life, certain that the terrors of their past are behind them. They build themselves a cozy little cottage on a lake in Muskoka, a cottage that becomes emblematic of their victory over the Nazis. The charming retreat is a safe haven, a refuge from haunted memories. That is, until a single act of unspeakable violence defiles their sanctuary. Poking around the dark crawl space beneath their cottage, they discover a wooden crate, nailed tightly shut and almost hidden from view. Nothing could have prepared them for the horror of the crateâs contentsâor how the peace and tranquility of their lives would be shattered.  Now, their daughter, Deborah Vadas Levison, an award-winning journalist, tells the extraordinary account of her parentsâ ordeals, both in one of the darkest times in world history and their present-day lives. Written in searing, lyrical prose, The Crate: A Story of War, a Murder, and Justice examines manâs seemingly limitless capacity for evil . . . but also, his capacity for good.  âAn impressive and important piece of work. Iâm glad it was written, and Iâm glad I read it.ââLee Child, #1 New York Times bestselling author âA gut-punch, hitting you broadside with such harrowing moments that you have to put the book down and take a breath.ââJames Rollins, #1 New York Times bestselling author |
