Others fled westward on long treks, seeking refuge in Germany during the Second World War. However, at war's end, the majority of the USSR refugees living in Germany were sent to the Soviet Gulag, where many died. Paths of Thorns is the story of Jacob Abramovich Neufeld (1895-1960), a prominent Soviet Mennonite leader and writer, as well as one of these Mennonites sent to the Gulag. Consisting of three parts - a Gulag memoir, a memoir-history, and a long letter from Neufeld to his wife - this volume mirrors the life and suffering of Neufeld's generation of Soviet Mennonites. In the words of editor and translator Harvey L. Dyck, "Neufeld's writings elevate a simple story of terror and survival into a remarkable chronicle and analysis of the cataclysm that swept away his small but significant ethno-religious community." 410 0$aTsarist and Soviet Mennonite studies. 606 $aMennonites$zSoviet Union$vBiography 606 $aPersecution$zSoviet Union$vBiography 606 $aCommunism$zSoviet Union$vBiography 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$vPersonal narratives, Russian 606 $aMennonites$zCanada$vBiography 606 $aImmigrants$zCanada$vBiography 607 $aSoviet Union$xHistory$yGerman occupation, 1941-1944 607 $aVirgil (Ont.)$vBiography 608 $aRecits personnels. 608 $aBiographies. 608 $aAutobiographies. 608 $aPersonal narratives. 608 $aPersonal narratives$vRussian. 608 $aHistory. 608 $aBiographies. 608 $aAutobiographies. 608 $aPersonal narratives. 608 $acollective biographies. 615 0$aMennonites 615 0$aPersecution 615 0$aCommunism 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945 615 0$aMennonites 615 0$aImmigrants 676 $a289.7 700 $aNeufeld$b Jacob J.$01863068 702 $aDyck$b Harvey L$g(Harvey Leonard), 702 $aDyck$b Sarah$f1924- 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910953256103321 996 $aPath of Thorns$94469481 997 $aUNINA
