Description

Two Jewish brothers plan futures full of achievement and maybe fame. But Warsaw in the summer of 1939 is no place for dreamers.
  Ian is thrown west to Paris. There, he unexpectedly falls in love with Alicia, a mysterious Frenchwoman, but then must leave her to race across France to safety in Casablanca. Daniel ends up in the Siberian Gulag, where he faces endless blizzards, starvation, and the often-lethal cruelties of guards and fellow prisoners. He too finds someone, an exiled poet named Nadhya, until he must choose: stay with her or cross all of Russia to return to the future he'd envisioned.
  Walk the Earth as Brothers is the story of two pawns in a titanic world war, of bravery, random chance, kindness, betrayal and love, and of what happens to the hopes and dreams of Ian and Daniel.
Two Jewish brothers plan futures full of achievement and maybe fame. But Warsaw in the summer of 1939 is no place for dreamers.

Advance Praise

Meticulously researched and fueled by Rozycki’s lavish imagination and smart, seamless prose, WALK THE EARTH AS BROTHERS conjures a convergence of history and humanity for an enthralling, original read - one you won’t soon forget.

Georgia Hunter, author of the New York Times and international bestseller We Were the Lucky Ones

WALK THE EARTH AS BROTHERS is the beautifully told, suspenseful story of the author's Jewish father and uncle, caught in the vise of World War II and the Holocaust, separated, and finally reunited in America as two of the lucky survivors. Henry Rozycki has a gift for capturing the large forces of history through the richly detailed lives of his subjects. A wonderful piece of work!

R. D. Rosen, author of Such Good Girls: The Journey of the Holocaust's Hidden Child Survivors

The Second World War never leaves us, even those who were born well after. More than 60-million dead, a continent destroyed and many more millions who lived, each with their own story. In this wonderful book, we see how one small cohort within those numbers navigates their way to survival. Through the main characters, through different countries, across the span of time, we see the conflict through their eyes, their experience … as we experience it ourselves, once again. WALK THE EARTH AS BROTHERS is a masterful piece of writing that tells a story we can’t stop hearing.

Warren Kozak, Wall Street Journal contributor and author of LeMay: The Life and Wars of General Curtis LeMay and The Rabbi of 84th Street: The Extraordinary Life of Haskel Besser
