Book Description
This book is the real story of one Ukrainian family and at the same time a written testimony and testimony of the cruel treatment of Ukrainian civilians by Russian military personnel for the Hague Court . There is no fiction in the book, every word is our blood, which we paid for the right to talk about the real events that we had to go through. I must immediately warn you that the book contains scenes of torture and violence committed by the Russian military against this family, as well as other Ukrainian captured civilians. These events, these words, this pain, and all these deaths cannot simply be crossed out or brushed over like in a painting, so that everything on the white canvas is “beautiful and orderly.” This is a real story with a detailed description of the real events experienced by the author of the book, this is a true story of life, which has no right to be embellished, a means of removing and not fully describing human actions , so that the book looks more “clean” and without cruelty. But by doing this with text, we simultaneously change reality and make the crimes committed by Russian military personnel look less cruel, and not what they really were. This is the real life story of my family, from which it is impossible to take and erase all these terrible scenes. Because you understand, these events from the lives of the tortured victims will never be erased. All surviving victims of the Russians will remain with scars on their bodies and souls. Peaceful Ukrainian people , who have never done anything bad to anyone, will never again be able to sleep peacefully, plunging every day into the nightmare of memories of the torture they experienced, which will emerge in every dream , and traces of the inhuman cruelty of the Russians will remain on their skin forever . Also, these atrocities cannot be erased from the history of Russia’s war against Ukraine, from the abuses of Russians against Ukrainian civilians. This book is yet another piece of evidence to convict Russia, Putin and all the guilty criminals in the Hague Court. I couldn't delete a single line from this book. I was unable to distort the real truth and soften reality. After all, this is all true. And who needs lies? Only Russians need softened facts of crimes committed. And people all over the planet should know what the Russians did in Ukraine, and understand what a real war is.
We survived, but for what? The story of the escape of a Ukrainian family from the occupation zone by Russian executioners. Real story.

Execution by Hunger: The Hidden Holocaust
Author: Miron Dolot
Publisher: W. W. Norton & Company
ISBN: 039307854X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 252
Book Description
Seven million people in the "breadbasket of Europe" were deliberately starved to death at Stalin's command. This story has been suppressed for half a century. Now, a survivor speaks. In 1929, in an effort to destroy the well-to-do peasant farmers, Joseph Stalin ordered the collectivization of all Ukrainian farms. In the ensuing years, a brutal Soviet campaign of confiscations, terrorizing, and murder spread throughout Ukrainian villages. What food remained after the seizures was insufficient to support the population. In the resulting famine as many as seven million Ukrainians starved to death. This poignant eyewitness account of the Ukrainian famine by one of the survivors relates the young Miron Dolot's day-to-day confrontation with despair and death—his helplessness as friends and family were arrested and abused—and his gradual realization, as he matured, of the absolute control the Soviets had over his life and the lives of his people. But it is also the story of personal dignity in the face of horror and humiliation. And it is an indictment of a chapter in the Soviet past that is still not acknowledged by Russian leaders.

The Shtetl
Author: Steven T Katz
Publisher: NYU Press
ISBN: 0814748627
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 507
Book Description
Dating from the sixteenth century, there were hundreds of shtetls—Jewish settlements—in Eastern Europe that were home to a large and compact population that differed from their gentile, mostly peasant neighbors in religion, occupation, language, and culture. The shtetls were different in important respects from previous types of Jewish settlements in the Diaspora in that Jews had rarely formed a majority in the towns in which they lived. This was not true of the shtetl, where Jews sometimes comprised 80% or more of the population. While the shtetl began to decline during the course of the nineteenth century, it was the Holocaust which finally destroyed it. During the last thirty years the shtetl has attracted a growing amount of scholarly attention, though gross generalizations and romanticized nostalgia continue to affect how the topic is treated. This volume takes a new look at this most important facet of East European Jewish life. It helps to correct the notion that the shtetl was an entirely Jewish world and shows the ways in which the Jews of the shtetl interacted both with their co-religionists and with their gentile neighbors. The volume includes chapters on the history of the shtetl, its myths and realities, politics, gender dynamics, how the shtetl has been (mis)represented in literature, and the changes brought about by World War I and the Holocaust, among others. Contributors: Samuel Kassow, Gershon David Hundert, Immanuel Etkes, Nehemia Polen, Henry Abramson, Konrad Zielinski, Jeremy Dauber, Israel Bartel, Naomi Seidman, Mikhail Krutikov, Arnold J. Band, Katarzyna Wieclawska, Yehunda Bauer, and Elie Wiesel. This is the first book published in the Elie Wiesel Center for Judaic Studies Series.

Where the Jews Aren't
Author: Masha Gessen
Publisher: Schocken
ISBN: 0805242465
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 193
Book Description
From the acclaimed author of The Man Without a Face, the previously untold story of the Jews in twentieth-century Russia that reveals the complex, strange, and heart-wrenching 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 post-oppression Jewish culture. By the mid-1930s tens of thousands of Soviet Jews, as well as about a thousand Jews from abroad, had moved there. The state-building ended quickly, in the late 1930s, with arrests and purges instigated by Stalin. But after the Second World War, Birobidzhan received another influx of Jews—those who had been dispossessed by the war. In the late 1940s a second wave of arrests and imprisonments swept through the area, traumatizing Birobidzhan’s Jews into silence and effectively shutting down most of the Jewish cultural enterprises that had been created. Where the Jews Aren’t is a haunting account of the dream of Birobidzhan—and how it became the cracked and crooked mirror in which we can see the true story of the Jews in twentieth-century Russia.

A 2021 National Jewish Book Award Finalist One of Smithsonian Magazine's Best History Books of 2021 "An uplifting tale, suffused with a karmic righteousness that is, at times, exhilarating." —Wall Street Journal "A gripping narrative that reads like a page turning thriller novel." —NPR In the summer of 1942, the Rabinowitz family narrowly escaped the Nazi ghetto in their Polish town by fleeing to the forbidding Bialowieza Forest. They miraculously survived two years in the woods—through brutal winters, Typhus outbreaks, and merciless Nazi raids—until they were liberated by the Red Army in 1944. After the war they trekked across the Alps into Italy where they settled as refugees before eventually immigrating to the United States. During the first ghetto massacre, Miriam Rabinowitz rescued a young boy named Philip by pretending he was her son. Nearly a decade later, a chance encounter at a wedding in Brooklyn would lead Philip to find the woman who saved him. And to discover her daughter Ruth was the love of his life. From a little-known chapter of Holocaust history, one family’s inspiring true story.
