Since the 1960's, he sought a person to compile and publish his memoire. I think it was a sense of obligation, to repay those who came to his aid, by keeping the memory of them alive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMy grandfather met Lyudmila Levin through a mutual friend. She was a semi-retired Russian short story writer, who came to his apartment in Israel and took down his life's story. Based on their conversations, Lyudmila wrote a novella of about 90 pages, written in Russian.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt was my grandfather's dream to have his memoire translated into English. This is now the project started. This book and the research around it quickly took a life of its own and turned into a journey of discovery of my Jewish Eastern European roots. My goal for this book is to give those of my generation or later, whose only link to their grandparents is a name of a town or a story of hardship, a deeper understanding of the lives their grandparents lived and choices they made.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike its Russian counterpart this book is written as a conversation between Yehuda Feldman and Lyudmila Levin. In rewriting the original book, I kept my grandfather's quotes and tone as I remember them while sitting and listening to his amazing experiences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome of the references and places referred to by Lyudmila and my grandfather were unfamiliar to me and may be unfamiliar to you. To bring you into this living memory I added maps, photos, sidebars (in gray), and appendixes. I also need to thank all the family, friends, and folks who selflessly gave their time to review and advice in order to make this book happen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI now invite you along through my grandfather's journey and then to start your own journey of discovery.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46481357799575,"sku":"9780999476802","price":1454.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780999476802.jpg?v=1766312396","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/how-much-further-9780999476802","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
