This book deals with the work of fifteen young Jewish poets who
were killed, died of wounds, or were executed in captivity while
serving in the Red Army in the Second World War. All were young,
all were poets, most were thoroughly assimilated into Soviet
society whilst at the same time being rooted in Jewish culture and
traditions. Their poetry, written mostly in Russian, Yiddish, and
Ukrainian, was coloured by their backgrounds, by the literary and
cultural climate that prevailed in the Soviet Union, and was deeply
concerned with their expectation of impending death at the hands of
the Nazis. The book examines the poets' backgrounds, their lives,
their poetry and their deaths. Like the experiences and poetry of
the British First World War poets, the lives and poems of these
young Jewish poets are extremely interesting and deeply moving.
