5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing story of African-Russian-Jewish-American lady!, January 28, 2009
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Soul To Soul: A Black Russian Jewish Woman's Search For Her Roots (Paperback)
Do you know there were Americans and African-Americans who long time( in 20-s and 30-s) ago traveled to Russia for a job opportunity during Depression? Some of them come back and some stayed. This story about family which stayed. Why? Do you know what could happened to the people at that old time if one of them were White and another Black? There were other reasons too.
You are the Lucky ones to get that book and read it because people in Russia can't! I checked it out.
I am same age and grow up in the same place with the Author Yelena Khanga, I can relate pretty much to that story. Yelena is a celebrity in Russia. Her family were friends with Stalin's daughter.
I was amazed of her family story and how she learned what it means to be African-American in US in 90-s.
You might better appreciate your ancestors after you reed this book.
I would love to have a cup of Tea with her one day too.

5.0 out of 5 stars A story that would have much interest to anyone., December 16, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Soul To Soul: A Black Russian Jewish Woman's Search For Her Roots (Paperback)
Really learned a lot about a subject that I knew nothing about. All history is family history. A fascinating story that puts you inside a Russia we never hear about.
