Deborah Feldman became known thanks to the worldwide success of Unorthodox and the Netflix series of the same name based on it. It shows how she wrestles herself from an ultra-Orthodox Jewish community in New York. In the sequel, Exodus, she tries to reshape her life. She follows her grandmother’s trail in Hungary, Germany and Sweden and makes it clear in a penetrating way how the Holocaust has marked later generations. After World War II, there seemed to be only two options: to reject God completely because the Shoah was proof He didn’t exist, or to believe even more stubbornly to propitiate God.
