Our take on the So They Remember: A Jewish Family's Story of Surviving the Holocaust in Soviet Ukraine (Paperback)

So They Remember is a family memoir by Mikhail Goldis, written with Michael S. Guralnick, about a Jewish family that survived the Holocaust in Soviet Ukraine. It follows the family through ghetto and labor camp life, partisan hiding and the postwar silence that followed. The book sits alongside classics like Night and Survival in Auschwitz but covers the less-told Soviet Ukrainian experience, where survival often depended on local help and luck. It suits readers of Holocaust memoirs and Eastern European Jewish history who want a family-scale account rather than a broad historical survey.

What reviewers say

Readers of Holocaust family memoirs tend to value the book for its intimate, unsentimental account of survival in Soviet Ukraine and for following the family into the postwar decades. Some find the reconstructed scenes and the thin historical framing less satisfying than a scholarly history.

What people mention

  • Soviet Ukraine settingPraisedThe Ukrainian Soviet backdrop is cited as a fresh angle compared with better-known Polish and German accounts.
  • Historical contextCriticisedSome readers want more background on Soviet policy and the region's wartime history.
  • Postwar memoryMixedThe later chapters on silence and family memory land well with some and feel slow to others.
  • Writing styleMixedThe plain, novelistic prose is called moving by some and thin by readers wanting a scholarly tone.

Questions and answers

Is this a memoir or a history book?
It is a family memoir built from the Goldis family's recollections, not an academic history. Expect personal scenes first and broader context second.
Does it cover the postwar years?
Yes. The book follows the family after the war, including how they spoke, or did not speak, about what happened.
Is it available in German as well as English?
The edition is presented in English and German, so German-speaking readers can follow the family's story in their own language.
How does it compare with Night by Elie Wiesel?
Both are first-person Holocaust accounts, but this one is set in Soviet Ukraine and spans a family across generations rather than a single narrator's camp experience.
Is it suitable for a book club?
Yes. Its themes of memory, silence and family make for good discussion, and the chapters are short enough to read in a few sittings.
Does it include photographs or maps?
The book centers on the family narrative; readers who want detailed maps and archival images may need a companion history.
