More than a million Jews escaped east from Nazi occupied Poland to Soviet occupied Poland. There they suffered extreme deprivation in Siberian gulags and "Special Settlements" and then, once "liberated," journeyed to the Soviet Central Asian Republics. The majority of Polish Jews who survived the Nazis outlived the war in Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan; some of them continued on to Iran. The story of their suffering, both those who died and those who survived, has rarely been told. Following the footsteps of her father, one of a thousand refugee children who traveled to Iran and later to Palestine, Dekel fuses memoir with historical investigation in this account of the all-but-unknown Jewish refuge in Muslim lands. Along the way, Dekel reveals the complex global politics behind this journey, discusses refugee aid and hospitality, and traces the making of collective identities that have shaped the postwar world--the histories nations tell and those they forget"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.5318 De Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Adult New Books 940.5318 De missing from shelf Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.5318 Dekel Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 940.5318 De Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.5318 De Checked In Add Copy to MyList
