The Crate:
A Story of War, a Murder, and Justice
by Deborah Vadas Levison
There's nothing more unsettling than true crime.
Read this debut, nonfiction, true account of her family's discovery.
After surviving the Holocaust – in
ghettos, on death marches, and in concentration camps – a young couple seeks
refuge in North America. They settle into a new life, certain that the terrors
of their past are behind them. They build themselves a cozy little cottage on a
lake, a cottage that becomes emblematic of their victory over the Nazis. The
charming retreat is a safe haven, a refuge from haunted memories.
That is,
until a single act of appalling violence defiles their sanctuary. Poking around
the dark crawl space beneath their cottage, they discover a wooden crate,
nailed tightly shut and almost hidden from view.
Nothing could
have prepared them for the horror of the crate’s contents – or how the peace
and tranquility of their existence would be shattered.
THE
CRATE: A Story of War, a Murder, and Justice is the debut book by
author Deborah Vadas Levison (WildBlue Press, 2018). It recounts the true story
of her family’s discovery and its shocking aftermath.
