In the Shadow of the Holocaust: The Refugees / Hazit Hakavod Association

This documentary volume of Holocaust history and survivor testimony brings together firsthand accounts by Jewish refugees and evacuees in the Soviet Union during 1941–1945, centering on childhood memories shaped by flight, dislocation, hunger, loss, and the struggle to survive far from home. Framed as a collection of recollections rather than a single narrative, the book focuses on the lived experience of wartime refuge in the USSR and preserves voices that expand the history of the Holocaust beyond ghettos and camps to include evacuation, blockade, and daily life in exile. It speaks to readers interested in Holocaust testimony, Jewish wartime history, Soviet history, and personal narratives that ask how memory carries both catastrophe and survival across generations.
