Freedom. Here in the United States we take that word for granted. The reality of the search for freedom rings true and sharp for Leo Wysochansky. In this memoir Wysochansky tells of his upbringing at a time of social and economic upheaval in Eastern Europe. His family were hard workers and still felt the heavy hand of Polish then German oppression. Walk with Wysochansky as he is forced to travel from place to place for work-sometimes going hungry. Sit with him as he awaits word of the safety or the end of family members. Applaud with him when safety-even if only temporary-is found. Mourn his losses and celebrate his successes. This is a story that every privileged American should read to all...
A gripping true tale of life in Russia, Turkey, and the United States, A Nomad's Journey shares the incredible story of Atilla Bektore and his father, Shevki Bektore. Born in Dobruja, Rumania, in 1888, Shevki Bektore dreams of being a teacher in his ancestral land of the Crimea. When the horrifying events of World War I alter his plans, he joins countless millions of others whose hopes and dreams are shattered in the maelstrom of war and revolution. Arrested in 1932 on trumped-up charges of treason, Shevki spends over twenty-two years of his life as an inmate in Stalin's Gulags in Central Asia and Siberia. Told within the context of contemporary world events, A Nomad's Journey focuses on major milestones of world history that include World War I and the fall of world empires, the birth of Bolshevik Russia, World War II, the demise of the Soviet Union, and the rise of the United States as the sole world superpower. Shevki's compelling story of survival, combined with his son's endurance in the face of World War II, Stalin's iron rule, and the turmoil of the 1960s and 1970s, creates a stunning memoir of these two extraordinary men.
