Eric Rozenberg grew up in Belgium, surrounded by rising anti-Semitism. In 2013, fearing for the safety of their children, he and his wife, Elsa, chose to leave everything behind and emigrate to the United States. Before It’s Too Late is Eric’s love letter to his daughters. It details European events since the 1980s, the rise of anti-Semitism, the Rozenberg family’s history, and how all of this led them to decide to leave Belgium for the future of their girls.

An important book
Revisado: 12-23-22
Having met Eric during our student days, I was intrigued by a statement he made when he moved to the US with his family: "we came to the conclusion that there is no future for Jews in Belgium." Surely he was exaggerating, that cannot be the country where I was born and spent half my life! So I had to listen to this book, and Eric makes an extremely compelling case, one which should scare us all. If there is no future for Jews in Belgium/Europe, is there a future for the rest of us? And could the same happen elsewhere? I can't say I agree with him on everything, but I learned a lot, about Belgium, about Israel and about America. As a left-leaning immigrant myself, Eric challenged my thinking in ways I would not have thought possible.
