It was a family that fate drove into the siege of Stalingrad, the Vilna ghetto, occupied Paris, and even into the ranks of the \u003ci\u003eWehrmacht\u003c\/i\u003e. His British father was the lucky one, the son of Russian Jewish emigrants who settled in London after escaping the civil war and revolution. Max, the grandfather, had started out as a socialist and manned the barricades against tsarist troops, but never spoke of it. His wife, Frouma, came from a family ravaged by the Great Terror yet somehow making their way in Soviet society. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBrilliant ... a staggering story\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e -- Robert Fox * Evening Standard, Book of the Year *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFascinating, vast and rich ... a dramatic family memoir\u003c\/b\u003e * Guardian *","brand":"Penguin Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48732507373911,"sku":"9780141986845","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780141986845.jpg?v=1719997186","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/what-you-did-not-tell-a-russian-past-and-the-journey-home-9780141986845","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
