Mom goes to war against father’s Jewish ‘cult’ to protect her children


Her home was a remote, guarded compound in Guatemala featuring makeshift houses with wood pellets for floors, plastic bags over two-by-fours for walls and tin sheets for ceilings.


There was no air conditioning, no hot water and, until recently, no toilets.
