More than a million Jews escaped east from Nazi occupied Poland to Soviet occupied Poland. There they suffered extreme deprivation in Siberian gulags and "Special Settlements" and then, once "liberated," journeyed to the Soviet Central Asian Republics. The majority of Polish Jews who survived the Nazis outlived the war in Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan; some of them continued on to Iran. The story of their suffering, both those who died and those who survived, has rarely been told. Following the footsteps of her father, one of a thousand refugee children who traveled 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 postwar world--the histories nations tell and those they forget"-- |cProvided by publisher. 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 650 0 Jewish children in the Holocaust. 650 0 Holocaust survivors. 650 0 Jewish refugees |zIran |zTehran. 650 0 Refugee children |zIran |zTehran. 650 0 Jewish children |zIran |zTehran. 650 0 Jewish children |zPoland. 650 0 Jews |zPoland. 650 7 HISTORY / Jewish. |2bisacsh 650 7 HISTORY / Middle East / Iran. |2bisacsh 650 7 HISTORY / Russia & the Former Soviet Union. |2bisacsh 650 7 Jewish children in the Holocaust. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00982706 650 7 Holocaust survivors. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00958838 650 7 Jewish children. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00982692 650 7 Jewish refugees. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01730523 650 7 Jews. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00983135 650 7 Refugee children. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01092779 651 7 Iran |zTehran. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01204877 651 7 Poland. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01206891 650 7 Exil. |2gnd |0(DE-588)4015959-0 650 7 Flucht. |2gnd |0(DE-588)4017598-4 650 7 Juden. |2gnd |0(DE-588)4028808-0 650 7 Judenvernichtung. |2gnd |0(DE-588)4073091-8 650 7 Kind. |2gnd |0(DE-588)4030550-8 650 7 Überlebender. |2gnd |0(DE-588)4136796-0 651 7 Polen. |2gnd |0(DE-588)4046496-9 651 7 Teheran. |2gnd |0(DE-588)4059304-6 650 7 Jewish children in the Holocaust |zPoland |vPersonal narratives. |2nli 650 7 Jewish children in the Holocaust |vBiography. |2nli 650 7 Holocaust survivors |zIsrael |vBiography. |2nli 650 7 Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) |xRescue |zIran |zTehran. |2nli 650 7 Jewish refugees |zIran |zTehran. |2nli 650 7 Refugee children |zIran |zTehran. |2nli 650 7 Jewish children |zIran |zTehran. |2nli 650 7 Jewish children |zPoland. |2nli 650 7 Jews |zPoland. |2nli 655 7 Personal narratives. |2lcgft 655 7 Biographies. |2lcgft 852 0 |bstacks |hHV640.5.J4 |iD45 2019
