In Tehran Children: A Holocaust Refugee Odyssey, Mikhal Dekel discovers--and retraces--the agonizing three-year journey her father made as a teenager fleeing the Nazis--from Poland to Palestine via an unlikely refuge in Iran. Dekel is a City College English professor who grew up in Israel as part of a post-war generation that was largely shielded from Holocaust history. In this CUNY Book Beat podcast, she talks about how digging into her father's little-known survival story became a pursuit of self-identity.
