- Summary
- "Survival on the Margins tells the story of Polish Jewish flight into Soviet Ukraine and Belarus, deportation to the Urals and Siberia, amnesty to Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, and subsequent repatriation to Poland after the war. It looks at what it meant for Central European shoe-makers and home-makers to encounter the overwhelming social and environmental diversity of the USSR in the midst of a punishing war as well as what their experiences can teach us about WWII and the Holocaust"-- Provided by publisher.
