This groundbreaking study delves into the profound experiences of the millions of Soviet civilians who were evacuated to the interior of the country during the Second World War, shedding light on their interactions and relationships with local communities and populations across Soviet Central Asia, Kazakhstan, Siberia, and the Urals. By examining the impact of this massive population displacement across Eurasia, the book explores the intricate web of tensions and challenges that emerged between evacuees and local residents. These tensions, in turn, prompted individuals to reevaluate the concepts of citizenship and belonging within the Soviet Union, forcing them to confront the complexities of their identity and place in the world.
Moreover, this study pays particular attention to the plight of Soviet Jewish evacuees, who constitute the largest contingent of Holocaust survivors in Europe. It sheds light on the rise of anti-Semitism on the Soviet home front during the war, highlighting the complex and often fraught dynamics between different ethnic and religious groups within the Soviet Union.
This volume is a valuable resource for students and scholars of the Second World War, migration and displacement, the Holocaust, Soviet Jewish history, and the Soviet experience more broadly. It offers a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of a critical chapter in modern history, providing valuable insights into the complexities of human resilience, survival, and the enduring impact of war on society.
