Description
A New Life in Israel, 1950-1954 is the last book in the trilogy about Shimon Redlich's childhood and adolescence. In Together and Apart in Brzezany he discussed his childhood in prewar and wartime Brzezany. Life in Transit told the story of his adolescence in the city of Lodz in postwar Poland. A New Life in Israel focuses on his first years in the Jewish state. The book bears witness to the adjustment of one young immigrant-one among thousands-to the realities of a new life in Israel.
Reviews / Votes
[Shimon Redlich's] brief but illustrative tale of life in the kibbutz Merhavia in the Jezreel Valley, followed by settling in the northern town of Afula, and his tour of service in the IDF (Israel Defence Force) is a memoir that will interest a wide ranging audience. * AJL Reviews *More details
