| Description: | When Nazi persecution tightens its grip on Europe, the Weiser family is forced to leave their home in Vienna, launching a precarious journey through Hungary, Brazil, and eventually the United States. Recreating the tension of multiple escapes, John W. Weiser captures both the quiet, human moments of a family determined to stay together and the historical weight of fleeing state-sanctioned oppression. A Thousand Kisses serves as a poignant tribute to courage, love, and resilience, as well as an instructive warning about the dangers of societal silence, xenophobia, and racial scapegoating. |
