Description
A Small Town in Ukraine: The Place We Came From, the Place We Went Back to by Bernard Wasserstein. In this deeply affecting work of history and memoir, historian Bernard Wasserstein recounts the dramatic and traumatic story of Krakowiec, a town forty miles west of Lviv where his family originated. Tracing the arc of history across centuries of conflict, Wasserstein explores how ordinary people were shaped by the great forces that determined the course of our times. From the Polish magnate Ignacy Cetner's palace to the devastating impact of war and persecution, Wasserstein reveals the complex and often moving history of Krakowiec. The book is a powerful exploration of the human experience, as Wasserstein uncovers the lives of those who lived through some of the most turbulent periods in European history. Through his own family's story, particularly that of his grandfather Berl, Wasserstein offers a personal perspective on the events he describes, making this book an exceptional and moving read.
