The Book of Dirt reimagines the lives of Jakub Rand, a rabbi’s son tasked with curating Eichmann’s infamous Museum of the Extinct Race, and Františka Roubíckova, a converted Jew who would go on to establish a smuggling network that would stretch as far as Auschwitz.

Presser began writing the novel after seeing an article in the local community paper that purported to tell a very different version of his grandfather’s fabled Holocaust story. He subsequently embarked on a seven-year search across four continents to uncover the truth. Come along to hear Presser discuss his search, and where it led him, with author Leah Kaminsky.
