Spanning perhaps the most devastating epoch of all of Jewish History, the lives of this remarkable couple are told here by the protagonists with disarming simplicity and spine-chilling directness. From the beleaguered shtetlach of the Ukraine to the snowbound steppes of Siberia, from the awe-inspiring Court of the Holy Tzaddik of Belz to the field kitchens of the Soviet Army, this is a Jewish survival narrative unlike any other that I have ever read or heard. Rife with hair-raising terror and trauma, pathos and hilarity, yet brimming with Holiness, with open Miracles, and with unswerving Faith in G–d, this book is a living, unadorned, historical testimony of what it really means to be a Jew in the last and darkest moments before the Ultimate Redemption.
