Novelist Dovid Bergelson, and the poets Itzick Fefer and Peretz Markish, were among the plethora of Yiddish writers in the Soviet Union who were forced to suppress their heritage; in one of Stalin's bloody purges, they were among the Yiddish cultural figures and community leaders executed on 12 August 1952. Wiesel began this in 1965 in his first visit to Russia. This is an astonishing gathering of the lives of these martyrs into one. Gray boards, black cloth spine silver lettering.
