Page by page, the nearly twenty-thousand-kilometre journey into exile is revealed, as they fled persecution through the USSR, Sibérie, Ouzbékistan, Kazakhstan, Inde and Iran.
Philippe Rey, 2025. Mikhal Dekel only learned the story of her father, Hannan, very late in life. His death prompted her to embark on a painstaking investigation to reconnect the threads of this legacy: ten years of research across three continents, delving into archives and meeting survivors to retrace Hannan’s journey—and, with it, that of hundreds of thousands of Polish Jews. Page by page, the nearly twenty-thousand-kilometre journey into exile is revealed, as they fled persecution through the USSR, Sibérie, Ouzbékistan, Kazakhstan, Inde and Iran. With the author in attendance. In conversation with Claire Zalc, historian, research director at the CNRS and director of studies at the EHESS. With support from the Fondation pour la Mémoire de la Shoah. Book now
