Set between events depicted in Fiddler on the Roof and Schindler's List, Lisa Brahin's Tears over Russia brings to life a piece of Jewish history that has never before been told.     Between 1917 and 1921, twenty years before the Holocaust began, an estimated 100,000 to 250,000 Jews were murdered in anti-Jewish pogroms across Ukraine.\r\n\r\n Lisa grew up transfixed by her grandmother Channa's stories about her family being forced to flee their hometown of Stavishche, as armies and bandit groups raided village after village, killing Jewish residents. Channa described a perilous three-year journey through Russia and Romania, led at first by a gallant American who had snuck into Ukraine to save his immediate family and ended up leading an exodus of nearly eighty to safety.     With almost no published sources to validate her grandmother's tales, Lisa embarked on her incredible journey to tell Channa's story, forging connections with archivists around the world to find elusive documents to fill in the gaps of what happened in Stavishche.\r\n\r\n She also tapped into connections closer to home, gathering testimonies from her grandmother's relatives, childhood friends and neighbors.     The result is a moving historical family narrative that speaks to universal human themes-the resilience and hope of ordinary people surviving the ravages of history and human cruelty. With the growing passage of time, it is unlikely that we will see another family saga emerge so richly detailing this forgotten time period.\r\n\r\n Tears Over Russia eloquently proves that true life is sometimes more compelling than fiction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen possible we will add details of the items we are selling to help buyers know what is included in the item for sale.
