Frontmatter -- Table of Contents -- Preface -- Family Tree -- Timeline -- Introduction -- PART ONE. Historical Background -- Chapter 1.1. The Ginsburg Family in the North Caucasus -- Chapter 1.2. Soviet Population Evacuation into the North Caucasus, 1941-1942 -- Chapter 1.3. The Holocaust in the North Caucasus -- PART TWO. The Ginsburg Family Correspondence -- Chapter 2. 1941 -- Chapter 3. 1942-1943 -- Conclusion -- List of Letters in the Ginsburg Collection -- List of Abbreviations -- Bibliography -- Index
Summary: This is the first work in any language that offers both an overarching exploration of the flight and evacuation of Soviet Jews viewed at the macro level, and a personal history of one Soviet Jewish family. It is also the first study to examine Jewish life in the Northern Caucasus, a Soviet region that history scholars have rarely addressed. Drawing on a collection of family letters, Kiril Feferman provides a history of the Ginsburgs as they debate whether to evacuate their home of Rostov-on-Don in southern Russia and are eventually swept away by the Soviet-German War, the German invasion of Soviet Russia, and the Holocaust. The book makes a significant contribution to the history of the Holocaust and Second World War in the Soviet Union, presenting one Soviet region as an illustration of wartime social and media politics.
