Book Description
Introduction by Ehud Olmert, Mayor of Jerusalem. Prologue by Moshe Arens, former Foreign and Defense Minister of Israel. Memoir and informal history of the little known community of Russian Jews who lived in the remote eastern Chinese cities of Harbin, Shanghai and Tientsin. Escaping the terror that followed in the wake of the Bolshevik Revolution, many Jews, the author's parents included, fled through the Manchurian border to China. My China provides an intimate portrait of everyday life and the people surrounding Liberman's childhood and adolescence. These ambitious Jews created their own communities, had their own hospitals, schools, newspapers and cultural events. Many prominent figures in Israel's early fight for independence came from these communities.
