Episodes of War captures the life of a Jewish family that made the fateful decision to leave Nazi Germany prior to Kristallnacht (the Night of Broken Glass in November of 1938) and the Holocaust that followed. Throughout these remembrances, Margo Berger shares heartwarming anecdotes about her relatives, a striking mélange of facts about their destiny, and, most notably, unforgettable everyday experiences of her immediate family, as they moved from Halle, Germany in July of 1938 to Paris and then Villeneuve-sur-Lot, Marseille and Lyon, France to escape and hide from the Nazis. Thanks to the foresight and courage of her parents (her father, in particular), and the false identities that her family assumed, Margo was able to maintain hope, embrace and make the most of life in wartime France and ultimately emigrate to the United States, where she proceeded to live a most fulfilling life. These remembrances provide a poignant backdrop, largely untold until now, to her rich American story.
