sourced analysis of the trajectory followed by many Jews through Central Asia to Iran on their way to Palestine or back to Europe—along the way making a very persuasive case for a transnational Holocaust history—but provides a compelling explanation for why this history was neglected by those who experienced it and those who came later: among other reasons, because of an undifferentiated story of the Holocaust that left little space for ‘the highly ambiguous role of the Soviet Union as the site where—with critical, if limited, support from American Jewish aid organizations—the great majority of Jewish DPs had survived the war’. This highly engaging book opens up as many, if not more questions than it answers. It delineates a new sub-field in the history of the Holocaust and in other fields besides, and makes for exciting and fresh reading.

对许多犹太人在前往巴勒斯坦或返回欧洲的途中经过中亚到伊朗所遵循的轨迹进行了来源分析——一路上为跨国大屠杀历史提供了一个非常有说服力的案例——但提供了一个令人信服的解释为什么这段历史被忽视了那些经历过它的人和后来的人：除其他原因外，因为大屠杀的无差别故事为“苏联作为一个非常模糊的角色留下了很少的空间——在那里——得到美国的关键支持，如果有限的话，犹太援助组织——绝大多数犹太难民都在战争中幸存了下来”。这本引人入胜的书打开了许多问题，如果不是更多的话。它在大屠杀历史和其他领域描绘了一个新的子领域，令人兴奋和新鲜。
