| Summary |
In the final years of the Soviet Union and into the 1990s, Soviet Jews migrated at an unprecedented rate to Israel. Here, ex-Soviets tell their immigration experiences, allowing readers to explore this topic directly through immigrants' thoughts, memories, and feelings, rather than artifacts like magazines, films, or books |
