Leon Volovici

Today I would like to write about the book that I have ordered one week ago. It is a book written by Leon Volovici who is a romanian writer whose grandparents were Jewish. The book I want to write about is called "De la Iași la Ierusalim și înapoi" which we can translate like "From Iași to Jerusalem". 

This book is a long interview with Leon Volovici who has left Romania with his wife (who was polish) and with his two children in 1984 and has settled down in Jerusalem. In this city he wrote books about history and culture of the romanian Jews. His autobiography is an another book of him which is focused on this problem. He writes about the history of Jewish minority in Romania during the World War II and during the Communist time. What is more, interview with Leon Volovici is supported by a lot of essays and articles whch help us understand better the sad history of Romania, Poland and Israel.
