You killed Jesus - We will kill you!
Death and destruction was the lot of the Jewish people in 19th and 20th century Russia
Russian peasants and other miscreants professing to be Christians attack the Jewish population with immunity and the blessing of the Russian Czar. Only by fleeing the country could a Jew be safe. Leaving loved ones and friends behind, Havah and a few relatives and friends escape the marauding horde in Russia, seeking safety in the United States of America. But even in America - the land of the free - there is bias, discrimination, hatred and mayhem.
Although things were worse in America than they had believed, it was like heaven compared to Russia, and Havah did have one American friend in her corner President Theodore Roosevelt. Her faith and determination enabled her to persevere and lead her people through trials and tribulations that at times seemed almost too much to bear, but she was buttressed by her father's words "As one must, one can."

A fabulous sequel to "Please say Kaddish To Me". This one continues the story of Havah and Arel, Nikolai, Ulrich and members of the Gitterman family. As in the first book, all is not rosy. It is a most difficult transition from Pogrom-torn Russia to racist-United States.I do not want to go into any detail as I would hate to spoil this for any future readers but must say there were cringe-worthy moments - Rochelle does have a knack for describing horror in detail - and there were most beautiful ones.
There are characters I would like to smack and others I want to hold tight and comfort. Signs of a most satisfying and engrossing read. I tried to take my time reading it as I did not want it to end and must console myself with the knowledge that the story is not over and will continue in the up-coming "As One Must, One Can".

From Silt and Ashes Sequel to Please Say Kaddish For Me Rochelle WisoffFields 9781942981138 Books Reviews
This second installment of Havah's story, her emigration to Kansas City with her family, creates hope that the horrors and anguish of the pogroms might be eclipsed by much better conditions and a more accepting society. The author writes, as in "Please Say Kaddish For Me," with heart-rending integrity of the bigotry so many non-Anglo newcomers still face. While the physical conditions definitely are an improvement from the conditions in Russia, people generally are very similar in all ages and places. Research supports the author's use of Theodore Roosevelt's actions, and adds an intriguing touch to the difficulties the characters faced. The story consistently pulled me along and kept me entranced. I was sorry when I reached the end of the book and am anxiously awaiting the final (sad sigh) installment. Havah has become one of those women who inspires and encourages, My hope is that the author will continue writing such beautiful prose and sharing her own large heart. She must have a big heart. How else could she create that beauty in her characters?
All power to Rochelle Wisoff-Field's brilliant writing, this sequel to Please Say Kaddish For Me left me even more emotionally drained than its predecessor. Even though Havah, plus some of her family and friends have managed to escape persecution, if not certain death in Czarist Russia at the hands of thugs who profess to be Christians, they still have family and friends back home who haven't the money or means to escape.
Although most of the story is set in the US, which is far from perfect re openly expressed discrimination towards the Russian-Jewish immigrants, an excursion back to Russia reminds the reader of the horrors that befell those left behind.
For once, I'm left a little speechless as to what to say in a review because this novel makes me feel so angry that humanity was and still is capable of such stupidity and sheer evil. But it also fills me with hope that when faced with such evil, love can bind the suffers together in a bond that transcends life.
Read this book, if you are feeling strong. It's a part of history that is seldom talked about, but it resonates across time. To quote the chorus of Pete Seger's well-known 1960's song "Where have all the Flowers Gone?", it makes me ask the question "when will they (people) ever learn?"
Once again Rochelle Wisoff-Fields takes us into the lives of a strong Jewish family. Her writing style is so descriptive that you become a member of the family. I can't wait to read the next book, As One Must, One Can!
I was engrossed in my reading and suddenly the book was at its end. I literally cried out loud "Oh no!". I eagerly await the next installment.
This sequel to Please Say Kaddish for me is one of the best written and thoroughly researched novels I've ever read. Once you start, you can't put it down. It's a story few know and this author did her homework to the max. You will both, love and hate some characters but some may not go where you thought they would because........oops, you have to read it yourself. This series would be a blockbuster movie.
After reading Rochelle's first book, "Please Say Kaddish for Me," I couldn't wait to dig into this sequel. It did NOT disappoint! The author's voice and the authentic descriptive depth of her writing immerses the reader in the setting and the story line with Havah and her family, actually taking one on a journey back in time to the anti-Semitism and persecution of the Jewish people that posed insurmountable challenges in every day life. Her detailed character development is amazing! Now waiting with anticipation for the release of her next book, "As One Must, One Can" to follow Havah and her family even further!
I have read this author's other books and she consistently writes wonderfully thought provoking books with well developed characters. I am pulled into her stories immediately and find that I cannot put her books down until I'm finished. I love her beautifully, complex characters. I feel like her characters are real people about whom I have come to care about tremendously. As Rochelle Wisoff-Fields takes her people through the tumultuous times of the Pogroms, I cry along with Havah and her loved ones. I rejoice in their triumphs and am so sad when the book finally ends. I can't wait to read her next book!
