Between These Walls
by
Michael Newman
May 1945
In the dying days of WW II on the American occupied side of Germany’s Elbe River, US Army Medical Corps Colonel Samuel Singer comes upon the shot-up wreck of a smouldering SS Staff car, with a badly injured driver, nearby a dead German Army officer carrying the ID of a Nazi war criminal, and a young blonde woman, also dead in the back seat.
July 1988
Art curator Daniel Singer, the adopted son of Colonel Singer receives a mysterious package—a large brown envelope, sealed with security tape—from West Berlin. He can’t help but think that there’s something important within the envelope. But what?
Daniel’s quest to learn about the package’s contents leads him on a surprising voyage of discovery about his own roots, including an encounter with the Mossad, Israel’s top secret spy agency. As he searches, he unlocks the history and secrets of three families—one American and two German—following them through tumultuous times, from the dying days of WWI to the rise of Adolf Hitler, WWII, the Holocaust, the birth of the State of Israel and three Middle East wars.
As Daniel learns about duty, honour, sacrifice, and the familial ties that bind us all, he will be faced with a life-altering choice—and the opportunity to right the most heinous of wrongs.
“The historical authenticity of the work is admirable; the author’s research is scrupulously rigorous, and much of the book is enjoyably edifying, as it offers a peek into several tumultuous conflicts in the 20th century.”
-Kirkus Reviews
“Between These Walls is an incredibly ambitious novel and feels very well-researched.”
-Pipeline Media Group
A Hungarian refugee and the son of Holocaust survivors, Michael has received first-hand accounts of what happened during WWII in the concentration camps, particularly Mauthausen, where his father was imprisoned by the Nazis in 1944/45. Newman had the opportunity to travel, surreptitiously, to Israel during the Second Lebanon War, an experience that was written about in both the National Post and the Toronto Star. He has travelled to Europe and visited Berlin, the Eagle’s Nest in Berchtesgaden near Munich, Hitler’s wartime summer home, and Mauthausen concentration camp, locations that are featured prominently in the book.
Michael lives on Toronto’s waterfront with his wife, Dixie, and their cocker spaniel, Sandy. They have five kids and eleven grandchildren.
