Yosef Mendelevich by Emma

Review by Emma

The book Yosef Mendelevich was a very interesting book that taught me about the Soviet-Russian history. Because it is nonfiction, I learned about Communism and "Operation Wedding," which I did not know about before. Another interesting takeaway is that different people can be Jewish in different ways and have diverse ways of expressing Judaism, and no matter how you want to express it, you are still Jewish. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in history, especially Jewish history.

The book is so full with page turning excitement as Yosef survives every thing he went though as a Jew in the Soviet Union facing harsh conditions but he still practiced Judaism ✡️
