Powerful and moving, A Visit to Moscow is inspired by the true experience of an American rabbi who travels to the Soviet Union in the 1960s, a dangerous time of uncertainty and fear for Jews in the nation. "[A Visit to Moscow] by Rafael Grossman and Anna Olswanger, illus. by Yevgenia Nayberg, [is] a graphic novel depicting a story from 1965 when an American rabbi visited the Soviet Union and discovered a heartrending example of family love, fear, and protection." --Publishers Weekly, Spring 2022 Children's Sneak Previews In the summer of 1965, a rabbi travels to the Soviet Union as part of a US rabbinical delegation to investigate reports of persecution of the Jewish community. As guests, he and his fellow Americans are welcomed into Moscow--then given a strict schedule to follow. But one afternoon, as the others embark on a daylong city tour, the rabbi sneaks away. With an address in hand and little knowledge of the Russian language, he takes a taxi and embarks on a secret journey that would change his life. Featuring gorgeous, uniquely stylized illustrations by Yevgenia Nayberg, this graphic novel reveals a poignant story of formidable perseverance and strength during a modern Jewish exodus that is often overlooked.
