4.9/5 (21016 ratings)

Description:Gene and Mark Elsner, and their cousin, Henek, were forced to flee their home in Nowy Sacz, in southern Poland, when the Germans invaded. When they reached Lvov, in the Soviet zone of Poland, they were arrested and deported to the Gulag where they faced unimaginable hardship under arctic conditions. After Germany invaded Russia, they were released to join a new Polish army fighting the Germans.Their description of the odyssey through Tashkent, Samarkand, and Bukhara on the way to join up with the Poles, a journey which took them through the Soviet heartland, allows the reader to see what life was like there during wartime. Through it all, the brothers schemed and struggled to stay together, using guile and wits. Gene even became a translator for the occupying German army; of course, they didn’t know he was a Jew.No matter what he witnessed, he had to stay focused on keeping himself and his brother alive. Not only does this memoir provide historical insight into the Nazi occupation of the Caucasus, it personifies the Jewish will to resist as Gene made contact with the resistance and was able to aid them. It is also as much a story about family and brotherhood as it is about the cruelty of two regimes—fascist and communist.After the war, the two brothers settled in Israel, side by side. Henek, from whom they had become separated, survived, sheltered by a Polish Christian woman whom he later married.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
