Step into another world ... of yesteryear's vivid childhood memories, with Rebecca's Journey.
It is a story of living under Soviet rule in the 1970s - the bread lines, the snitching neighbours, KGB raids, and violent antisemitism. But it is also a heart-centered autobiography about discovering one's Jewish identity, and resolving to pass along those values to the next generation.
Rebecca's Journey offers a first-hand account of harsh suffering under communist religious persecution, and yet, it is a story where a young girl's hope for a better future gave her strength.
Though many rejected their faith during this time of great threat, the rare and lesser known stories are like Rebecca's - those who at great risk summoned the courage to stand for what they believed in. That is Rebecca's Journey.
