Exodus: Returning to My Jewish Roots in Berlin

The story of Deborah Feldman's escape from the New York Satmar Hasidic community to Berlin became a bestseller and served as the basis for the series "Unorthodox." Leaving home, Deborah thought she would find freedom and happiness, but that did... not happen. The reader meets her several years later - lost, torn from the earth, roots, and everything that had given her strength in the struggle for freedom for many years. She often thinks about her grandmother, who was a source of love and beauty in her life. The path her grandmother took suggests to Deborah that she needs to go to the homeland of her ancestors to reconcile with the past she has tried so hard to forget. She is drawn to Europe like a magnet, to the land that her community considered "scorched," and now Deborah is no longer running away - she is returning.
