Description

Book Synopsis
Traces the prewar and wartime experiences of young adult Jews raised under distinct political and social systems. Each cohort harnessed the knowledge and skills attained during their formative years to seek survival during the Holocaust through narrow windows of chance.

Trade Review
This magnificent book shows in a vivid narrative what it meant to live in the Polish and Soviet states as young Jews, and how that generation’s response to Nazi rule derived from prewar identities and behavioral patterns—remaining mostly distinct as Jews, or adapting to non-Jewish society. Borderland Generation masterfully weaves Jewish voices into a history grounded in archival documentation to reveal a multifaceted and layered understanding of the experiences of two Jewish communities located on either side of the Poland-Belorussian border region.”
