    02/22/2011 07:00 PM 02/22/2011 08:00 PM America/Anguilla When They Come For Us, We'll Be Gone-Book Reading WINNER OF THE 2010 JEWISH BOOK AWARD! Join author Gal Beckerman as he discusses his newly acclaimed book. At the end of World War II, nearly three million Jews were trapped inside the Soviet Union. They lived a paradox: unwanted by a repressive Stalinist state yet forbidden to leave. Those who tried were followed by the KGB, often denied jobs and higher education, even forced into menial labor or imprisoned for studying Hebrew or gathering with other Jews. When They Come for Us We'll Be Gone is the astonishing and inspiring account of their rescue and is one of the great exodus stories of modern times.
