Twenty-four members of Kibbutz Megiddo, a collective farm in northern Israel founded by young survivors of the Holocaust, describe the horrors of their youth their hairbreadth escapes, their devastating losses, the shattering of their old world and their rebuilding of a new one. The men and women telling these stories, now grandparents, were young boys and girls when World War II broke out, and their growing-up was accellerated by terror. One stands in awe of the fact that they outlived these years at all, of their resilience and ability to transform their experiences into the creation of a new way of life."

"This collection of essays examines the lives of women across Russia--from wealthy noblewomen in St Petersburg to desperately poor peasants in Siberia--discussing their interaction with the Church and the law, and their rich contribution to music, art, literature and theatre. It shows how women struggled for greater autonomy and, both individually and collectively, developed a dynamic presence in Russia's culture and society"--Publisher's description.
