EXCERPTS FROM REVIEWS:
"...Ruth Wolman uses [written oral history] brilliantly in CROSSING OVER, her examination of the lives of Hitler refugees.
...Riveting stories paint the domestic side of emigre life in America.
...Every library should have this book."
Association of Jewish Libraries
"...Wolman was able to break the taboo against speaking of painful and unpleasant things. The answers to her questions revealed these refugees' persecutions, restrictions, and losses, as well as their lack of understanding of what lay ahead.
...Wolman asked good questions. The stories are not equally interesting, but the best are very moving and she had arranged them well. They tell about "the lucky ones," the German and Austrian Jews who became American during the war years."
The Oral History Review, Winter, 1997
