Ester and Ruzya : how my grandmothers survived Hitler's war and Stalin's peace

M. Gessen
The author provides a dual portrait of her two Jewish grandmothers--the rebellious Ester, who risked her life for the sake of her principles, and Ruzya, a censor under the Stalinist regime--who survived both the anti-Semitic cataclysm of the Holocaust and the terror of Stalinism
