Description

In this fascinating family memoir, Draznin reconstructs the experiences of his and his wife’s families under Soviet rule.

It’s a dramatic, event-filled history that exemplifies many of the experiences of Soviet Jews throughout the 20th century.

Draznin’s paternal grandfather, Moshe, was a Communist Party aide—but that didn’t save him from eventual arrest on the charge of being a spy for the West.

The horrors of growing up Soviet are exemplified by Draznin’s father, Nahum, who saw a schoolmate praised for turning in his father as an enemy of the state. And during WWII, Nahum was sent to a military penal colony as a deserter.

For anyone whose family, like Draznin’s, survived life in the U.S.S.R., or anyone interested in how Jews lived there for seven decades, this is an enlightening and moving personal history.
