A historical novel of Jewish persecution over 200 years fro 1743 to 1945; covering one of the greatest mass migrations in history, from Germany and other European countries to Tsarist Russia under the rule of Catherine the Great It is a story of desperate survival when the will to live is pushed to its limit. "Living Among Wolves" puts a human face to some historical events that are cold, encyclopaedic texts in history books. The book is dedicated to all who have been forcibly removed from their homeland due to religious and/or political intolerance.
Ive known Kurt Hahn and his wife Melva since I was little. I found out recently that he wrote this book, based on real events, so I read it. Good book. It's really sad to me how the Jews were treated just because of what they believed etc. It's not right but a sad truth in history.
