A Story of Refugees from the former Czechoslovakia who survived the Holocaust - As told to Elisabeth Winkler.

In 1937 Sigo Weber was in the final stages of his studies as a medical student in Brno and his future wife Leah was training to be a couturier in her home-town of Moravska Ostrava. It was hard to envisage that within a year their lives would be in upheaval and the first of their unanticipated, eventful journeys was about to begin.
This is a story that epitomises the Jewish refugee experience of World War II. that recounts in their own words, how the Webers came to Britain from Czecholslovakia on their way to a planned future as pioneers in Palestine - a destination they never reached - and how chance took them to a new life in Australia.
Eventful Journeys is about loss and grief, but it is also about refusal to relinquish dignity. It documents how faith and resolution can transcend tragedy and create new hope and success for a family.
The book is authored by Bristol-based writer and journalist Elisabeth Winkler.
