The Wanderers

An immigration journalist and her wife explore their family's intertwined past, uncovering a lesser-known history of Polish Jews who survived Hitler’s Holocaust and Stalin’s repression through a harrowing journey across Eastern Europe and Central Asia. Their story highlights the resilience and hope of refugees facing impossible circumstances and offers a compelling look at a shared history often overlooked in mainstream narratives. Blending genealogical detective work, history, and contemporary reporting, the book reflects on the enduring impact of displacement and survival across generations.
