Following the Nazi annexation of Austria in March of 1938, Desider Furst, his wife, and his daughter suddenly found themselves hunted outlaws, holders of a German passport branded with a red 'J' for Jewish. They escaped from Vienna and eventually settled in England, where they spent the war years as 'enemy aliens.' Home Is Somewhere Else is a dual-voice autobiographical narration by father and daughter, recounting the family's displacements, obstacles, and repeated reversals.
