NO PLACE CALLED HOME
Meanwhile, in Vienna, the Kornmehl family enjoys a more elegant lifestyle, delighting in the social and cultural life of the city. Daughter Margaret, like Ernst Hess, dreams of attending university. Instead, she enters a disastrous marriage, which is followed by divorce and a year attending culinary school in London. Even as Hitler incorporates Austria into Nazi Germany, and the younger Kornmehls face harassment and threats from the SS, their parents are loath to accept the inevitable.
Kristallnacht in convinces them otherwise.

The fears and pressures created by the need to flee Nazi rule resonate within both families. Emigration from Austria is difficult and dangerous; the fact that borders are closed to Jews throughout the world make the challenge even greater. Both the Hess and Kornmehl families must abandon all that they know for the mere chance of staying alive and together.
Familiar with neither the language nor the culture, the families live uncomfortably in the poorer section of the city. Eventually, Ernst and Margaret wed, and the war ends. No Place Called Home is an amazing account of unqualified love, extreme endurance, strong family ties, and hope. A simply, yet convincingly, written story with straight-forward prose, this book is suitable for adolescent or adult readers. She brings readers to tears and leaves them wanting to know more about the strong, incredibly resilient Hess and Kornmehl families.
