The instant Sunday Times bestseller Hitler, Stalin, Mum & Dad is Daniel Finkelstein’s deeply moving and at times horrifying family memoir.

His mother Mirjam, the youngest daughter of Alfred Wiener, was sent to starve in Bergen-Belsen. His father Ludwik was deported to Siberia as a slave labourer, surviving the freezing winters in a tiny house he built from cow dung. In conversation with biographer Caroline Moorehead, the Times columnist reflects on the consequences of totalitarianism and the almost unimaginable bravery of two ordinary families.
