Reviews

[☯Emily Ginder · Rating 3 out of 5]

A rather boring description of a ship voyage to Europe in 1934 as Hitler was rising to power. The author gets many different Jews opinions about the rise of anti-semitism and the Soviet Union's experiment and how it could be applied to capitalist workers who were overworked and abuse by the system.
