You might enjoy Last Chance to See, from Douglas Adams.
It is a tells how he traveled searching for near extinct species. It is non-technical and non-fiction, but it is a Douglas Adams book, so he explains a lot of things and makes up stories a long the way. That is his style.
Personal histories of Jews successfully escaping Nazis and not. Remember December, 1939, the border closes, and in that foul month, crossing the Georgia Straight can be hazardous.
