Rather than perish in Nazi-occupied Poland, more than a million
Jews escaped to the Soviet Union. There they suffered deprivation
in Siberian gulags and "Special Settlements" and then, once
"liberated", journeyed to the Soviet Central Asian Republics. The
majority lived out the war in Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan; some of
them continued to Iran. The story of their suffering has rarely
been told. Following in the footsteps of her father, one of a
thousand refugee children who travelled to Iran and later to
Palestine, Dekel fuses memoir with historical investigation in this
account of the all-but-unknown Jewish refuge in Muslim lands. Along
the way, Dekel reveals the complex global politics behind this
journey, discusses refugee aid and hospitality, and traces the
making of collective identities that have shaped the post-war
world-the histories nations tell and those they forget.
