TEHRAN CHILDREN
A Holocaust Refugee Odyssey
An extraordinary journey in the footsteps of the author’s father and the hundreds of thousands of Polish-Jews who survived the Nazis in Central Asia and the Middle East.
Tehran Children is a gripping account of Holocaust survival unlike any other. Blending the genres of memoir, history, and travelogue, Mikhal Dekel traces… her father’s wartime footsteps across thousands of miles, from Poland, to Soviet Uzbekistan, Tehran and Palestine.
—Tara Zahra, author of Great Departure: Mass Migration from Eastern Europe and The Making of the Free World
