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. This title tells the story of their rescue.
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, as well as hundreds of oral interviews, Gal Beckerman shows not only how the movement led to a mass exodus in 1989, but also how it gave the American Jewish community a renewed sense of spiritual purpose and taught it to flex its political muscle. In cinematic detail, this multi-generational saga, filled with suspense and packed with revelations, provides an essential missing piece of Cold War and Jewish history.
