**A warm and intimate memoir by an acclaimed historian that explores the European struggles of the twentieth century through the lives, hopes, and dreams of a single family—his own.**Uncovering his family’s remarkable and moving stories, Mark Mazower recounts the sacrifices and silences that marked a generation and their descendants. It was a family that fate drove into the siege of Stalingrad, the Vilna ghetto, occupied Paris, and even into the ranks of the *Wehrmacht*. His British father was the lucky one, the son of Russian Jewish emigrants who settled in London after escaping civil war and revolution. Max, the grandfather, had started out as a socialist and manned the barricades against tsarist troops, but never spoke of it. His wife, Frouma, came from a family ravaged by the Great Terror yet somehow making their way in Soviet society.In the centenary of the Russian Revolution, *What You Did Not Tell* recounts a brand of socialism erased from memory: humanistic, impassioned, and broad-ranging in its sympathies. But it also explores the unexpected happiness that may await history’s losers, the power of friendship, and the love of place that allowed Max and Frouma’s son to call England home.Auszeichnung : isbn searchedFormats : EPUBHas Cover : YesAll Identifiers : isbn:9780241321379Num of Aut : 1Number of Formats : 1Number of Words in Auth: 2Original Source : Mirc New Files 03 20Record ID : 4193Single Author : Mark MazowerSorted Author by LN, FN: Mazower, MarkTitle Length : 021Title Parm A : What You Did Not TellTitle Parm B : (Title Parm D : What You Did Not TellTitle Parm F : What You Did Not TellUncomma Author : Mark Mazowerwords : 99463
