Description

A New Yorker Reviewers’ Favorites “Beckerman recounts the historic trajectory of this grand assertion of human rights with passionate clarity and pellucid conviction.”—Cynthia Ozick AT THE END OF WORLD WAR II; NEARLY THREE MILLION JEWS WERE TRAPPED INSIDE THE SOVIET UNION. They lived a paradox—unwanted by a repressive Stalinist state; yet forbidden to leave. When They Come for Us; We’ll Be Gone is the astonishing and inspiring story of their rescue. Drawing on newly released Soviet government documents and hundreds of interviews; Beckerman shows how the movement led to a mass exodus in 1989 and forced human rights into the center of American foreign policy. In cinematic detail; this multigenerational saga; filled with suspense and revelations; provides an essential missing piece of Cold War and Jewish history. “Fresh; surprising and exceedingly well-researched.”—Anne Applebaum; Washington Post Best Nonfiction 2010 “A riveting work of reporting and a magisterial history of one of the twentieth century’s great dramas of liberation.”—Commentary
