This book, a popular account of the history of the Jews of the Soviet Union, is a further continuation of the works of the same author. This book is about the life of Jews on the territory of the USSR from 1939 to 1945 - the pre-war period, the Great Patriotic War, the sacrifices and tragedies that befell the citizens of the country of the Soviets, the heroism and self-sacrifice that they showed. And we repeat again, as it was already in the introductions to previous books: the author does not pretend to provide a complete description of the events of the most difficult period in the life of the country. It is impossible to name everyone. It is impossible to tell about everyone.
