The First World War was a calamity which significantly impacted the Jewish people. Millions of Jews were personally affected whether upon the battlefields by being in close proximity to the fighting, or as refugees. The era of the First World War ignited existing hatreds against Jewry and posed unprecedented challenges in a world rife with peril. With the War's end in 1918, dangers and hardships facing Jewry continued. Amid this bleak and ominous picture, the Balfour Declaration gave hope for Jewish statehood. The aftermath of the war eventually led to the rebirth of the Jewish State.

Here, for the first time, are dozens of previously untold accounts gleaned from the records of thousands of Jewish families whose lives were destroyed when Tsar Nicholas of Russia conscripted Jewish children into his army -- for up to 25 years! The Tsar's declared goal was to convert these children to Christianity. This book also reveals the struggle of these youngsters -- ages 12 and above -- to maintain their Judaism against impossible odds.
