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.

The book uniquely combines a macro-level analysis of the flight and evacuation of Soviet Jews with a personal narrative of a specific Soviet Jewish family. It significantly enhances the understanding of Holocaust history and World War II in the Soviet Union, using one region as a case study to illustrate the complexities of wartime social dynamics and media politics.
