Book Synopsis
Golan's book is an eyewitness account of some of the most important events of the 20th century. This is a fresh and engaging story of the experience of Jewish refugees in the Soviet Union and Israel as seen through the eyes of a boy.

Trade Review
Don't let anyone tell you that Holocaust memoirs are all alike; each is a pair of eyes. Children are a special kind of witness…In the end, Golan's story is a 'Bildungsroman.' There is a destination after all, and by the time they reach it, parents and children will find themselves, inevitably, worlds apart. -- From the preface by Bette Howland
