Books like The Emigrants by W. G. Sebald
The Emigrants follows the parallel paths of four men who are forced to leave the German Reich during World War II. One, a teacher, loses his post after the Nazis discover a Jewish ancestor and is then drafted into the army. The others are all Jewish: a surgeon who commits suicide in Britain for cultural alienation, an artist seeking refuge, and a man who turns into a butler in New York. Their stories illuminate the hardships of exile, the fragility of identity, and the enduring impact of the Holocaust on survivors.

"An unnamed narrator, beset by nervous ailments, is our guide on a hair-raising journey across Europe and into the past. Vertigo is a book in four parts. The opening section is devoted to Stendhal's memories of joining Napoleon's army as a very young man just when it invaded Italy. The second section centers on Casanova's horrible imprisonment in Venice.
The third part follows Kafka's tribulations in Italy; and the fourth part chronicles, in an intensely moving fashion, Sebald's own return to his childhood home in a small Bavarian village. Everywhere he encounters self-alienation and the unreliability of memory: "what it is that undoes a writer.""--BOOK JACKET.
