My parent's flight from Russia saved me, my seven brothers and one sister from the holocaust of starvation and Nazism. I am connected to these tragedies with the guilt and obsession of a survivor, and they inform almost everything I have written.

Jude Clements
I've just finished reading "Journey Through a Small Planet". It was the first book of yours that I'd read, but not the last! I so enjoyed it, it took me through such a gamut of emotions-some really funny bits cheek by jowl with passages filled with great sadness.
Thank you!
Emanuel Litvinoff
I've just been told that the TS Eliot program is to be repeated tomorrow on BBC4 in the UK at 10:20pm. Tune in to see me, Anthony Julius and Dannie Abse talk on the subject of his anti-semitism. It will be available on BBC iPlayer afterwards. http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00
Michael I should be delighted if someone were to scan in and upload to the internet all copies of the journal, "Jews in Eastern Europe." For anybody researching Soviet era anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism, this particular journal that Emanuel Litvinoff edited is essential reading.

Emanuel Litvinoff Here I am in 1992 talking about British publisher's initial reluctance to consider books on the Jewish East End of London. I also give a brief description of what the ghetto was like.

Cheryl Herr This is a wonderful book, beautifully written, deeply humane, and also quite funny at times.
David Wright Found 'Journey...' a really moving and evocative account of a fascinating period in history. The task of coming up with ideas for friends' birthday gifts has been made easier with this very welcome reprint. Hopefully the fiction will come next...
Gail Davis Your book is wonderful. I wrote an article about the book and the launch for my Synagogue's magazine. Some of the memebers have read the book and told me how much they enjoyed it. Gail
