The forsaken

"Of all the great movements of population to and from the United States, the least heralded is the migration, in the depths of the Depression of the 1930s, of thousands of men, women and children to Stalin's Russia. Through official records, memoirs, newspaper reports and interviews, Tzouliadis searches the most closely guarded archive in modern history to reconstruct the emigrants' story - one of honesty, vitality and idealism brought up against the brutal machinery of repression."--BOOK JACKET.
