Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
From the acclaimed author of The Man Without a Face, the previously untold story of the Jews in twentiethcentury Russia that reveals the complex, strange, and heartwrenching truth behind the familiar narrative that begins with pogroms and ends with emigration.In 1929, the Soviet government set aside a sparsely populated area in the Soviet Far East for settlement by Jews. The place was called Birobidzhan.The idea of an autonomous Jewish region was championed by Jewish Communists, Yiddishists, and intellectuals, who envisioned a haven of postoppression Jewish culture. By the mid1930s tens of thousands of Soviet Jews, as well as about a thousand Jews from abroad, had moved there. The statebuilding ended quickly, in the late 1930s, with arrests and purges instigated by Stalin. But after the Second World War, Birobidzhan received another influx of Jewsthose who had been dispossessed by the war. In the late 1940s a second wave of arrests and imprisonments swept through the area, traumatizing Birobidzhans Jews into silence and effectively shutting down most of the Jewish cultural enterprises that had been created. Where the Jews Arent is a haunting account of the dream of Birobidzhanand how it became the cracked and crooked mirror in which we can see the true story of the Jews in twentiethcentury Russia.(Part of the Jewish Encounters series)
