Evocative, and inspiring ... So much more than a true crime. - Steve Jackson, New York Times bestselling author of NO STONE UNTURNED
After surviving the horrors of the Holocaust in ghettos, on death marches, and in concentration camps a young couple seeks refuge in Canada. 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 in Muskoka, 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 unspeakable 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 crates contents or how the peace and tranquility of their lives would be shattered.
Now, their daughter, Deborah Vadas Levison, an award-winning journalist, tells the extraordinary account of her parents ordeals, both in one of the darkest times in world history and their present-day lives. Written in searing, lyrical prose, THE CRATE: A Story Of War, A Murder, And Justice examines mans seemingly limitless capacity for evil... but also, his capacity for good.

THE CRATE is an impressive and important piece of work.
Lee Child, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Jack Reacher Series
*
Levison is a gifted, insightful and evocative writer. She delivers a brilliant story.
New York Journal of Books
*
Deborah Levison weaves a riveting story of survivors who thought that they had left suffering behind in Europe yet encountered shocking violence at the peaceful retreat they established in Ontario. THE CRATE should be used as a text in high school and university literature courses. I strongly recommend reading this exquisite yet haunting and memorable work, a testimony to survival.
The Jerusalem Post
*
Although it is her first book and she is highly ambitious in the way she weaves in and out of the various narratives, Levison pulls all of the various strands together with the deftness of an experienced novelist. Reading THE CRATE was a compelling and ultimately moving experience and should Levison turn to writing a novel, I will be most anxious to read it.
Ottawa Jewish Bulletin
*
A deftly crafted and inherently riveting account from beginning to end, THE CRATE is a true story showcasing the complexities of the human experience in the face of genocidal horror and the striving for singular human justice in the face of a specific and horrific act of ultimate cruelty very highly recommended.
Midwest Book Review
*
There are true crime stories and then there are books that delve so much deeper that they embed themselves under the skin and burrow into the psyche. THE CRATE is the latter. Levison may be new to the writing world, but she has been at it for years as a journalist, which shows in prose thats cut clean and yet conversational in tone.
Monster Librarian
*
Here is a wonderful debut, full of mystery and intrigue. This is a profound novel I could not put down.
Checking Out Chapters
*
Although she is an award-winning writer in national and international media, this non-fiction book her first. This crime story is riveting as Levison entwines both the story of a murder victim that was buried on the familys lakeside property in Canada and her parents experiences during the Holocaust.
Killingly Villager
*
THE CRATE is an intense read. It is not a beach book, nor a gentle summer read. It is a book to be read slowly, and gently digested. There is a lot of detail, all worth soaking up.
The Newtown Bee
*
The book is written so sympathetically to the horrors it tries to portray, and with such affection and some of the language is so evocative phrases like that pepper the book, and create such a sense of atmosphere and tragedy.
It Takes a Woman
*
THE CRATE is a beautifully written true story written by the daughter of Hungarian Jewish Holocaust survivors. It reads more like a novel than nonfiction. The authors storytelling is extremely well done eloquent and descriptive. I felt as though I was actually with her, sharing her experiences. The description of her parents experiences was one of the most powerful and heart-wrenching accounts of the Holocaust that Ive read.
Good Book Fairy
*
An emotionally wrenching and riveting tale that bleeds heartfelt emotion on every page.
Providence Journal
*
True Crime aficionados, take note. By astutely weaving the thread of a recent murder with the atrocities of Nazi concentration camps through the connecting link of Levisons aged parents, the author compellingly exposes the lifelong effects of violence on the human experience and the courage of those who survive violence and struggle to move on.

Evocative, and inspiring so much more than a true crime.

A heart-wrenching true crime, but it reads like a novel.

An ambitious and bracing true tale about survivors.
Book Trib

A sensitive portrayal of the effects of violence.
Vanessas Picks

Terror has no boundaries, not of time nor place. Deborah Levison proves that in her marvelous true crime debut, THE CRATE. Her parents survived the Holocaust, only to find their cottage sanctuary held a dark secret nailed up in a hidden crate. What follows from that discovery is the tale of their survival, the rippling effects of violence, and the devastation wrought by a modern-day murder. THE CRATE is equal parts detective story, history lesson, and family memoir, each searing in its own telling. A unique and important book.
James Benn, author of the Billy Boyle WWII mystery series
*
Levison opens wide the door to her world full of memories. That is where we read of Hungarian survivors of the Shoah, of escape from oppressive regimes, of brutality and murder, but also of bravery, love and beauty. Two main true stories, with a time gap of some fifty years in between, converge as they happen to the same family. With the writing shifting between documentary and memoir, it becomes hard for the reader to put down this book. THE CRATE has one problem: sadly, it has to finish. But you can always go back and start rereading it.
Immanuel Mifsud, Ph.D., recipient of the European Union Prize for Literature, poet, and author of IN THE DARK NIGHT WE LOOKED
*
Escaping the horrors of the Holocaust, Levisons parents nestle into a quiet cottage in Muskoka. But trauma ripples into their new life when they discover a crate hidden beneath their sanctuary. Seamless prose, profound emotional texture, and a very human voice help chronicle this unforgettable story. THE CRATE is true crime at its best.
K.J. Howe, bestselling author of THE FREEDOM BROKER and SKYJACK, and Executive Director of ThrillerFest
*
THE CRATE combines the horror of one murder with the terror of historical mass murder. A family retreat in the dark woods north of Toronto, once a haven for a young girl, is soiled by a heinous act of violence. Behind the scenes, survivors of the Holocaust, who outlasted the Nazis, the Russian communists, and even their own neighbors, try to raise the next generation free from the atrocities they witnessed. THE CRATE is a vital and necessary book that should be read as much for its historical content as for its entertainment value. Once you begin reading, this book is hard to put down. Once you are finished, it is impossible to forget.
