Summary:
"In September 1939, as German bombs started falling on Warsaw, four-year-old Uri Shulevitz sat still while his mother tied new boots on his feet and told him, "We'll need to walk a lot." So begins Uri's arduous eight-year journey with his family, fleeing Poland and the Nazi onslaught for a precarious existence in the Soviet Union. From the freezing wilderness confines of a labor camp all the way north near the White Sea to hunger-filled years of displacement all the way south in the city of Turkestan, Uri recounts the lucky breaks and setbacks that happened to him and his parents along the way."-- Provided by publisher.
