Children of Zion (Jewish Lives-Memoir)

Rating:
Summary: a moving description of a recent and little known diaspora
Review: This is a phenomenally moving book about the flight of Jewish children to the far corners of the globe in search of safety from the Holocaust. Grynberg's story is about the little known deportation of Jewish children and their families who found themselves in the Soviet Union in the early years of the war and were sent to Siberia and Central Asia for internment. Many of these people were unable to return to their homes after the war and remained in Eastern Russia or Uzbekistan. This is an excellent book.
