During the Great Patriotic War, about 8.7 million refugees migrated from the western regions of the USSR to its eastern part. About two million Jews who have been in refugee status have faced an additional burden – anti-Semitism. The government has made too little effort to get the local authorities to take good care of them. Famine and disease caused high mortality of refugees in their new places of residence, especially in 1942. Despite this, party officials succeeded in spreading the myth of the successful absorption of millions of evacuees. Kaganovich reconstructs the conditions that caused the surge of anti-Semitic sentiment, and provides new statistics on refugees, allowing us to look behind the scenes of the largest and most intensive Jewish migration in history.Albert Kaganovich received a historical education at Tashkent (MA) and Jerusalem Universities (Ph.D.). He worked in the research department of the Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum, in the Appeals Commission for Material Claims against Germany (Jerusalem), at the University of Manitoba (Winnipeg). Author of several dozen research papers, including monographs: "Rechitsa: The History of a Jewish Town in Southeastern Belarus" (Jerusalem, 2007); "The Mashhadi Jews (Djedids) in Central Asia" (Berlin: Anor, 2007); 'The Long Life and Swift Death of Rechitsa: A Jewish Community in Belarus, 1625-2000"; "Friends Involuntarily: Russia and Bukhara Jews, 1800-1917 (UFO, 2016); “Exodus and Its Aftermath: Jewish Refugees in the Wartime Soviet Interior”
