توضیحات
He grew up in a world where being Jewish was something you learned to hide.His grandmother lit Shabbat candles in the bathroom so the neighbors wouldn't see. His father, who enlisted at sixteen and never spoke about the war, had one piece of advice: "Nothing is wrong with you. Something is very wrong with people who hate us."A Quest for Home is a Jewish immigrant memoir that begins in the Soviet Union and follows one man's journey across Ukraine, Lithuania, Israel, and the United States in search of a place where he can live without having to explain who he is.Born in postwar Ukraine to a family shaped by war and silence, Joseph B. Stinsky inherited an identity long before he understood what it meant. When the Soviet Union began to collapse, he saw a chance to find the home his family had never truly had.The journey took him across four countries. In Lithuania, a bureaucrat derailed his scientific career with a single sentence: "We don't need specialists like you."On their last night in Vilnius, his children slept on the floor of an empty apartment. They knew they were leaving. They didn't know where they were going.In Israel, his family learned to use gas masks on their first day as the Gulf War began—then drove through orange groves so beautiful they felt almost unreal.Decades later, when a boy told his grandson his nose was too big because he was Jewish, the grandson replied without hesitation: "Yes, I am Jewish. And my nose is OK."It took a lifetime to build the certainty that child was born with.A Quest for Home is a memoir about exile, identity, and the quiet, determined work of building a life where you no longer have to justify who you are.
