Coles From Soviet Union to USA: Our Story at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
The Soviet Union was in the middle of a tremendous
wheat shortage, plus a grain embargo led by the US, and
was struggling to find ways to keep its citizens fed. American politicians seized this opportunity to help
Russian Jews escape from the Iron Curtain. They negotiated a trade with the Soviet government:
wheat for exit visas. Thousands of lives suddenly and unexpectedly changed,
including mine. I still wonder how much wheat my young family's freedom
was worth. Realizing that family history stories our parents and
grandparents are telling us don't necessary register and
are kept in our brains, is the reason for my memoirs.
