Anne Konrad's Red Quarter Moon is the gripping account of her
search for family members lost and disappeared within the Soviet
Union. Konrad's ancestors, Mennonites, had settled the Ukrainian
steppes in the late 1790s. An ethno-religious minority, they became
special objects of Soviet persecution. Though her parents fled in
1929, many relatives remained in the USSR. Konrad's search for
these missing extended family members took place over twenty years
and five continents - on muddy roads, lonesome steppes, and in old
letters, documents, or secret police archives. Her story emerges as
both haunting and inspiring, filled with dramatically different
accounts from survivors now scattered across the world. She aligns
the voices of her subjects chronologically against the backdrop of
Soviet policy, intertwining the historical context of the Terror
Years with her own personal quest. Red Quarter Moon is an
enthralling journey into the past that offers a unique look at the
lives of ordinary families and individuals in the USSR.
