With a rich array of letters, photographs, interviews, and archives, he creates a moving portrait of a family that fate drove into the siege of Stalingrad, the Vilna ghetto, occupied Paris, and even the ranks of the \u003ci\u003eWehrmacht\u003c\/i\u003e. His British father was the lucky one, the son of Russian Jewish emigrants who settled in London after escaping civil war and revolution. Max, the grandfather, had started out as a member of the socialist Bund organization and manned the barricades against tsarist troops, but never spoke of it. His wife, Frouma, came from a family ravaged by the Great Terror yet somehow making their way in Soviet society. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In the centenary of the Russian Revolution, \u003ci\u003eWhat You Did Not Tell\u003c\/i\u003e recalls a brand of socialism erased from memory: humanistic, impassioned, and broad-ranging in its sympathies. But it also examines the unexpected happiness that may await history's losers, the power of friendship, and the love of place that allowed Max and Frouma's son to call England home.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Mazower\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1590519868\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781590519868\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Other Press (NY)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/05\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.20w x 1.30d","brand":"Mark Mazower","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43985233740031,"sku":"9781590519868","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a9227bd6-5e71-4ab6-9722-2f738e6eb784.jpg?v=1683276352","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/what-you-did-not-tell-mark-mazower-9781590519868","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
