Lorinc also traces the stories of both his grandfathers and his father, all of whom fell victim, in different ways, to the Nazis’ genocidal campaign to rid Europe of Jews.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a deeply reported but profoundly human telling of a vile part of history, told through Lorinc’s distinctively astute and compassionate consideration of how cities and cultures work. Set against the complicated and poorly understood background of Hungary's Jewish community, \u003ci\u003eNo Jews Live Here\u003c\/i\u003e is about family stories, and how the narratives of our lives are shaped by our times and historical forces over which we have no control. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Lorinc (CA)","offers":[{"title":"Coach House Books |  Paperback \/ softback | Trade paperback (US) |  2024-10-29","offer_id":45664190136575,"sku":"9781552454923","price":24.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0329\/9075\/7001\/files\/BNCImageAPI_75c0294b-a881-4b8d-973d-52d4e3ee5f0b.jpg?v=1717702825","url":"https:\/\/riverbookshop.com\/products\/9781552454923","provider":"River Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
