Konrad's ancestors, Mennonites, had settled the Ukrainian steppes in the late 1790s. An ethno-religious minority, they became special objects of Soviet persecution. Though her parents fled in 1929, many relatives remained in the USSR.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKonrad's search for these missing extended family members took place over twenty years and five continents - on muddy roads, lonesome steppes, and in old letters, documents, or secret police archives. Her story emerges as both haunting and inspiring, filled with dramatically different accounts from survivors now scattered across the world. She aligns the voices of her subjects chronologically against the backdrop of Soviet policy, intertwining the historical context of the Terror Years with her own personal quest. \u003cem\u003eRed Quarter Moon\u003c\/em\u003e is an enthralling journey into the past that offers a unique look at the lives of ordinary families and individuals in the USSR.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anne Konrad\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1487520719\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781487520717\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/30\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Anne Konrad","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47244143952127,"sku":"9781487520717","price":88.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d6e4aad9-62d6-490d-98a0-65ce52f2b8de.jpg?v=1758135038","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/red-quarter-moon-anne-konrad-9781487520717","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
